I found this little jewel at my local Thrift store on Monday. It was caling my name as I walked by. It has a lot of attachments with it and it cleaned up pretty good. I think I will name her "Tillie". Oh, and by the way she cost a whopping $20.34 including tax. Sometimes I just can't help myself. :roll:

Hi, I found it at the Unique thrift on 88th & Sheridan. So far I have found my 503 in cabinet, 12.95. I found a 301, 9.95 and then I found this one for 20.00. I go over there about 3 or 4 times a week. I live very close to it. I have also found 2 machines at the Mile High Thrift on S. Sheridan and Jewel.

Beautiful machine, love the decals and the cabinet is great.

vintagemotif 05-11-2011 08:11 AM

Beautiful find! Very pretty machine with the green decals, and the cabinet is gorgeous too.

gotthebug 05-11-2011 08:27 AM

I live in Arvada. I go to that thrift store about once a month. I guess that isn't often enough LOL Congrats on your find.. I'll have to work a little harder I guess.

Jammin' Jane 05-11-2011 08:28 AM

WOW! She's a pretty one!
Congrats!

wolph33 05-11-2011 08:31 AM

jlm5419 05-11-2011 08:42 AM

Wow, nice machine! Is this a Singer 27 clone?

sandybeach 05-11-2011 09:17 AM

OMG!! You obviously don't live in California. Our local thrift shop has two on consignment that were in terrible condition and the cabinets were just as bad. They wanted $175.00 each. Plus this same thrift shop no longer carries fabric. Nor does the Goodwill or the Salvation Army thrift stores.

ssgramma 05-11-2011 09:35 AM

Nice score! I'm coming out next month so thanks for telling me where to shop!

Sewfine 05-11-2011 09:43 AM

Congrats on your machine.

fraydknot12326 05-11-2011 09:53 AM

*Tillie* is a beauty! :thumbup:
Can't think of a better way to spend $20.34 ~ :D

mile hi quilter 05-11-2011 09:54 AM

Unique thrift is a good one guess I better get in there more often..... I'm less than 5 miles and then I can go into harbor freight and pick up rotary blades :) :)

ladyredhawk 05-11-2011 10:17 AM

Oh how cool thanks for sharing

Corky 05-11-2011 10:18 AM

You scored, big time!!!

Glad she found a good home!

way to go.......................... :thumbup:

Jamiestitcher62 05-11-2011 11:07 AM

Yea, we don't get any stuff like this in the Northeast. Either the people here have a clue what stuff is worth and they get rid of it in other ways or they're not selling it at all. I never see stuff like this at Goodwill, or Salvation Army around here.
