The Blue Singer 348 the seller said is good for pairs. I see that as a challenge. It's too pretty to part out.

I'm a major Brother fan, any of those would be my picks but to me the cream of the crop is probably the Singer 201.

What a fun bunch of machines! My favorites are the Kenmore, and the cute, pink Brother. I like to rescue the Kenmores, fix them and give them to people who need them.

Wow! What a nice find for you. I don't know anything about the vintage machines but I love looking at them. So cool.

Enjoyed looking at your "treasures". There is a quilt shop not too far from where I live that uses machines like these for their classes. One of the owner's husband knows how to rewire any that need it. It just looks so nice to see all these machines in one place. With the different colors they would make a neat display wall (if you have the room that is). Enjoy!

You really have some treasures there. Can't wait to see how you find new homes for them when you have them up and running.

Me, too.

Are they actually the same color? Is the one with the black tension knob a smaller size machine?
