And that is why I like estate sales. Also because it is fun to tour a house. I've found several interesting things at estate sales. It is very hit or miss. Like a treasure hunt.

Estate sales can be a gold mine! I found a featherweight and two 301s at estate sales... and a Chatty Cathy doll just like the one I had when I was 4 years old!

Good score! I'm sure you'll be an estate sale junkie after that.

What a wonderful deal!! Congrats!! I had a featherweight way back in the 1950s and didn't realize what a magnificent machine it was. I traded it in for a new model of something forgettable. I was sorry almost immediately and tried to get it back but I couldn't. I regret that stupid decision to this day. Whenever I hear about someone lucking up on one, I think that maybe it is my old one. Silly, I know.

Lucky find. Your story makes me want to check out 'estate sales'-not garage sales. Who knows what I might find.
