Default What are people thinking!

This almost made me want to cry out " Noooooooooo!" like in the movies. What a pretty 15 clone wasted. I would love to have it, for sewing of course. It looks like in beautiful condition too. So sad!! https://wichita.craigslist.org/art/d...303145183.html

Well, I know I will be in the minority, but I think it is cute as all get out! It is re-purposed, which is way better than being thrown in the trash heap. And it made me smile!

I agree. Better that then in a rusty pile of scrap.

Too bad it will never again do what it was meant to do.

I don't know how repurposed it is, except making another item to dust. It would be far too heavy for a kids toy.

I find that creepy! The machine looked beautiful....I don't collect antique machines. My grandmother had a beautiful treadle machine. My aunt turned it into a plant stand, and put it outside. Still haven't gotten over that one!!
