Right place, right time AND with the history of the owner and you; this machine has gone to the right place.

Don't you just love finding a "treasure" at yard sales? :thumbup: :lol:
|
What a beuaty! How great to know it's history. Enjoy your treasure.

I have what looks like the same machine! I believe it is called "The Rocketeer" and it is the last all metal model made. Mine is missing the foot pedal/power cord, but I've found some online and just need to make the purchase. Here are some links you might enjoy looking at: http://www.singer500a.info/

Congrats--what a buy! I think my heart would have been in my throat when she said $10! And it does make things more special when you know the history behind them.

Now I keep wondering...was it NO GOOD or GOOD and no one knew. Thinking about knocking on the door and asking to see it. Would that be embarrassing????? |
A great find. Lucky you.

Congratulations and getting a great deal of your new sewing machine. Enjoy her! Dani

Great find. My mom had a machine like this. My sewing days as a child started with hand, then the treadle and finally I got to use the electric machine which was not very old at that time. I loved that old singer; it was a great work horse.

great find, you enjoy that beautiful machine. God bless. Penny
