I had the suspicion that was where the name came from ... unless by chance it had been the name of the original owner. Enjoy your new machine!

Oh, what fun! That's the kind of new machine that I love. Enjoy your new treasure. The toy machines are like potato chips, one is never enough.

I am so happy for you but I need to warn you those are addictive! I got one several years ago and now have 8. I especially love the ones that still have boxes and instruction books. My collection started with old graphics on sewing items. I love old needle packages and that started this whole thing. My family thinks I am nuts but what did they expect? I still have my Brownie pin and skate key!

Oh my...I have a Singer chain stitch machine just like that. It was a gift from my mom and dad when my sister and I were young. Mine came in a sturdy little suitcase.
