By the way, just got back from a short trip to Las Vegas and met my daughter who lives in Dallas at the new Cosmopolitan which is on the strip by the Bellagio(sp) and Ceasars Palace. On the second floor is a clothing store called 'All Saints' and it is a vintage sewing machine lovers dream world. If there was one old sewing machine there had to be 1,500+, I counted 450 in just one window. They also had large machines as decorations in the store used as clothes hangers and some of these machines were treadle. On the back wall were all old portable sewing machines. Some of the machines had a handle on the end of the wheel that you had to turn around and around in order for the machine to sew. I could have spent several hours looking. These pictures is from my daughters cell phone so they are not the best.
