Wow, those are great collections. It never occurred to me to use the machines as part of the decor in my 100 yr. old house. Which is why I don't have many. But, I do have several nice mantelpieces that would look great with a handcrank or two.... ya'll are such enablers LOL!

) This is like a museum! Most of them are in working order too, I'm guessing?

I don't actually know. Last time I counted it was over 150, and I've added a few and given away a few. . . I am currently on a give away program to other collectors, but due to my location and difficulty in shipping, it's not going well.
I'm being very, very strict with myself on not buying more unless they are near the top of my "most wanted" list.

StevH and Glen, man it's really good to see you guy still post. I was just about to ask where some of the original poster with their pix. Love, your collections and Glen really loving your décor and arrangement.
I have a small collection of my own. I have two FW that sits in their original cases, one Brother serge that sits in a box and a 1938 electric White in a cabinet and a 1957 Singer 401A in a cabinet. Let me try pix again, it all new to me.

That's a pretty nice case! I brought my case over on Tuesday and it's still in the car. It's ugly blonde fake wood and it was used by someone as work bench to hold something that was painted red. I know who that someone is and I'll never let him live it down! (It would have killed him to cover it with newspaper? 
)
I'll post photos when I can. If anyone has some suggestions on what I can do with this case - short of tossing it in the trash - I would appreciate it.
