    My oldest daughter asked me why I buy so many sewing machines. I said without thinking, cause it makes me feel good and it doesn't break the bank. I can remember wanting a sewing machine sine I was about 7....I went to my Grams most weekend so i could use her machine. I guess this must be the second childhood they talk about :wink:

    Hi Ruth,

    Do you remember the post that henry parrish posted about the singer site where you can put in the serial numbers and get the exact dat it was made? I am pretty sure it was at the singer.com site.

    These are really neat old machines. I like the unusual fiddle one, very cool looking

    oooh what beautiful treasures you have there!!!!

    I bought two antiques last year.. I have a hand crank one from 1905 and a Featherweight from 1943. I sew on the Featherweight all the time and just love it!!!

    At the moment I have them both displayed in my sewing room. The hand treadle one I'm not sure if I'll use that one, so I have it displayed with an old crazy patch quilt I made many years ago. I have some bears around it too!!!

    You have some gorgeous machines there!!!! Enjoy them!!
