What a beautiful, beautiful old Singer! My grandmother had hers till it died, out on the farm: Blaine County, Oklahoma (about 7 miles north of Roman Nose State Park). It was SO pretty! Like many farm families, she discarded her "trash" outside. I remember wishing so hard she did not put it out in the weather....where it "dissolved" thru the years. Isn't that sad? WISH I had today! I am SO glad you love these old machines! Me too! My mother has an old black SInger, in wooden cabinet...SO pretty, but not like the one you posted here! ~WOW~
