I started seeing these beautiful old machines showing up on the board, and it sparked a thought. I happened to mention it to my daddy, and he said he thought it was in the basement. AND IT WAS!! The black case is musty spelling and is airing out in the garage. This is exactly how I found the machine with all the parts. I have yet to even dust it off! Off to the machine shop this weekend!

How exciting for you! The only thing I found in my mother's basement were gardening tools!

Hello, "neighbor". What a beauty -- looks brand new. You can just bring it across the road to me!

Let me know when you get back, and I'll let you come over and play with her!

That is wonderful....I put those silica packages from new shoes, etc. that you normally throw away into my case and it seems to help with the mildew smell.....

Lucky you, I finally got one last year and love sewing on it. But yours is so special because it was your Mom's.
