Sightings from a recent 'field trip'
 

Hi all,
this Monday dh and I went to a bunch of new-to-us antique/collectibles shops. These are some of the machines I spotted. Pics were taken with my cell phone so if they are not the greatest quality .

Some of the prices were ridiculous crazy even with 15, 20 or 30% off. I was partial to the $450 - 30% :-). I wished the Singer fiddle base machine had been in good shape - I would have bit. Told dh I will be content when we have at home a handcrank and a fiddle base.

Now, what you're not seeing is the Singer 128 La Vincendora (very good decals) that I would definately convert from electric to handcrank. Problem was the shop only took cash -who the *bleep* carries cash anymore and it was closing in a few minutes so running to the ATM was out of the question.

Now judges, what should I do? Travel 1.5 hours alone this weekend and hope the machine is still there or take my chances and wait it out until March 7 when dh has a bowling tourney some what in that area. Non-negotiable price of $50.

Or, just walk away.

best,
d

Oh yeah, and the machine that followed me home today, well, um, stuff happens. :-) I'll have to post a pic for some help 'cos I can't locate the decal name. It is a Singer 27, that much I know.

Wow, they are all beautiful, but I really like the first sewing machine, and the Willcox & Gibbs!!!

Cash only? Guess that knocks out sending a deposit to hold the machine. Anyone on the Board live nearby to help her out?

Cool....all beautiful....no such finds round our area.

they are beautiful but don't know anything about machines.

drooool

bubl-bubblll oops sorry I forgot to wipe the drool off before I talked. lol I like the White Rotary too.
