I bought a very dirty Viking 21 and found a Mud dauber's nest up inside it.

Lets hear what you have found.
My most unusual was a bunch of popped popcorn in a beautiful 1906 White family Rotary. It began falling out and falling out, I thought it was never going to stop.
Mice nest, old pins, scraps seem normal.
My son, who I am afraid I have infected with the old sewing machine bug, sent me some photos of a machine he was cleaning. He took off the face plate and out fell dead cockroaches & their feces.

So lets hear it from everyone, send us your strange "find" in a sewing machine.
