I am currently using my 1950's Pinnock...bought for $20.00 at auction in 1981 (I think). Gave it away in the late 80's, promptly forgot it. About 8 years ago, Mum said now you're sewing again have your Pinnock back, so put my 80's Singer aside and took my Jasper home again. Not letting out of my sight again - a true workhorse with that funky 50's appeal.
