I Rescued Her!
Back from the auction and I am thrilled to report that I was successful with a winning bid on the Singer treadle that I had posted several days ago.
I had gotten quite discouraged as the bidding on so many items had been extra high this time. Many of the regular auction go-ers mentioned the same thing.
Anyway after having lost out on a very very poor example of a White cabinet with no machine I had come to the conclusion that I would not be in the running for the pretty Singer I had my eye on but for some reason the sewing machine Gods and the auction Gods were in alignment for me! LOL It was so near the end of the auction (one of the last 8 items out of about 240)that the big bidders were gone and my card was in the air when he said sold!
Then conversing with the other bidder's wife I found out that he wanted it to take it apart and make a table with the base and sell the drawers separately! Hopefully we can have her up and running by the end of the month.
Happy Dancing here in Utah

OH, yeah as you see the drawers were full of goodies!
There were 6 extra bobbins, the key to the drawers, a box full of attachments/accessories and two manuals one for the machine and one for the attachments. A shuttle and bobbin inside the machine and maybe one extra.
Her number is B or 8634610 and she is a Singer 27-4... everyone should have a diet Coke and be happy! LOL

Thanks to all of you who have helped me be educated on what to look for...I wouldn't have understood about the different bobbins and shuttle case without the board!
Thanks everyone
