she's a beauty

tarbender30 05-24-2011 11:59 AM

That looks just like the one my mon had only her's was a treadle machine. I don't know what ever happened to that one, come to think of it

Looks like a 99 to me...definately not a model 15-*.
Great buy for a buck!! Look at that pretty burled wood in that cabinet...you're going to love it!

The face plate on a 99 is flat, on a 66 its rounder like in the picture that Tlstick showed us.
Here's a picture of my 99.

Well for 1.00 Im sure you can get it to work! Great find!

cctx. 05-24-2011 07:14 PM

It's beautiful, Enjoy!

sewbizgirl 05-24-2011 07:19 PM

It's most definitely a 66... Same as the one in my avatar, only mine is a little older and a treadle. Clean it up and use it! They were the best machines! If I'm not mistaken, they were the longest-produced model Singer ever made.

Congratulations! I've never been at an auction where the starting bid for something like that was just a dollar!

Beffy_Boo 05-24-2011 11:46 PM

Talk about a well spent dollar! Congrats.

justlooking 05-25-2011 01:58 AM

Can't go wrong for $1.

Scakes 05-25-2011 02:26 AM

Great deal! :thumbup:

mahen 05-25-2011 06:29 AM

What a wonderful deal. You beat me by 5 dollars. I got a 301A at an auction for $6.00. It had not even had a spool of thread sewn thru it. I had a cabinet waiting at home for mine. You will love it.

azam 05-25-2011 08:06 AM

WOW, good for you!!!

Joyce Ann 05-27-2011 11:20 AM

Nice

hpylady 05-28-2011 08:55 PM

Why can't I come across deals like that? You go girl!

ScubaK 05-28-2011 09:19 PM

I would love one of those machines as they remind me of the NEW handi quilter sit down combo/setup.
The harp is large, the stitch divine...the table big...no need to buy a "new" machine.
