While much of the country was having lots of snow and frigid temperatures in mid December, Denver tied the daily record high from 1921 on the 15th with a high of 68°F. Then Denver tied another record high from 1933 of 67°F on the 21st. Then on the 22nd Denver broke the record for the 22nd which was 70°F from 1955 with a high of 76°F. There was only one other December day with a higher temperature of 79°F degrees on Dec. 5, 1939. Then again on the 24th Denver broke another record high from 1955 with 71°F. Another record high was had on the 25th, breaking the previous record high of 69°F from 2005 with high temperature of 71°F. Then on the 26th it broke the previous record from 1980 with 16 December days with high temperatures over 60°F. Then Denver had 2 more days of over 60°F making December 2025 the 2nd warmest December in history. Then January started out with 5 days of over 60°F and on the 6th the high was 57°F.
Now that the Denver weather report is done, lets get on with the purpose of this post. With the holidays falling as they did, this was delayed. Now we have the following reports.

James tells of the very nice machine with lots of goodies that he inherited from his mom and of machine he was not able to inherit.
This is my Mom’s Singer 301 and accessories. Note the extra templates and cams for the buttonholer and automatic zigzagger as most people just used the ones that came with the buttonholer and zigzagger. Also shown are some parts used in leather working.
... My dad was a foreman at an upholstery factory when he got drafted for Korea so the (hog ring) pliers may be from that time in his life. He rebuilt a MGA sports car in the 1970s and reupholstered it as well putting on Naugahyde seating for our chairs and sofa. He used his black Pfaff sewing machine in a portable case for this type of work. It was given away before I started collecting sewing machines.
