Boy, don't you love the detail in design and workmanship from "the olden days?" Penny looks beautiful and I love her case. Lucky you!

She purrs like a kitten - don't think she had been oiled in years. Named her "Penny" because she came from Pennsylvania. That is it.....no more - I now have enough sewing machines for someone who has been quilting since January....this year!!!

She is pretty , good luck with her should last another life time. Dottie Bug

At Ms. Penny's age, she is holding up very well. She has no wrinkles or fading....you got a good deal! She will last another 50 yrs. with you giving her the yearly overhaul....have fun quilting.....lil gma
