Sounds like we have the same kind of husband...mine has bought me lots of machines....my Gamil with which I make money but the little featherweight was a gift and the 1905 singer from Scotland...electric no less with the curved top on it...is a treasure..the Singer 1947 was the same as the electric ones we used at school some years ago(grade 7&8) and then there is a 1922 Windsor tredle in the house.
We are lucky that they do this for us.
