I saw an old Challenge? not sure of the name at A THRIFT STORE TODAY. iT SAID IT WAS Mde by Sears, Roebuck & Co. It didn't look too awful. The desk it was in looked rather old. The price tag was $12.99. I wasn't too sure it it worked ans did not have time to check it out. Has anyone ever used a Sears?

Sears doesn't make anything. They commission other companies to make products and put Sears or Kenmore on them. A number of different companies made sewing machines sold at Sears.

OK I was able to play a little today with my new toy,

(dgs told dgd "mama got a new toy", she was excited to see it, but when I showed her she exclaimed "That's not a Toy" I think she thought she was gonna get to play)

it sews a nice stitch, but sounds a little rough, Gonna try a new needle, gotta buy some, and some oil, first things first

just paint it black like the machine, then it would look more like it belonged with it.
