Yesterday my Hubby and I had to go back down to the area of the State we moved from in the summer for business. It was kinda hard, as that is where we started our married life and dreams, so to brighten the day I asked DH if we could stop at my favorite thrift store and buy every bit of quilting fabric they had, since I haven't found a good thrift store with quilting cotton up here. (I did too! 8 bags of scraps for a $.25 each!) I thought I had already hit the jackpot but then, down by the furniture department, I spied a black balance wheel... Yup! There sat 3 sewing machines! They were all priced at $100, a Centennial Singer 66, a Kenmore, and a Pfaff 130-6! We had only taken the car for fuel economy, so only one machine could come. We took the Pfaff. I am thrilled to find a vintage machine that I can use for my applique now. (Please excuse the toys on the floor in the picture. Our girls stayed home with Nanna and played really hard all day!)

It is in amazing condition. I don't think it need anymore than just a wipe down in the bobbin area and some oiling. It came with it's instructions manuals, attachments, and even the original warranty paper! It was shipped from Germany in 1952 and bought by Donna in Iowa in 1953.

The cabinet is kind of cool too. The chair slides in to look like a chest of drawers.

I think we scored big for our last visit to my favorite thrift store in KS!
