What machines do you have? Maybe we can help 'find' links for good bets, to give you an idea of what we look for.
Another thought... you can also post a 'wanted' ad for bobbins of the type/age you need. Gotta be someone on here (probably me!) with more old bobbins then they really need. !!!
Well, I finally took the time to look at the Singer 27 I picked up at an auction. Actually a friend picked it up for me. If I had been there I would have passed, but...
The bobbin shuttle is not for this machine....too long. It has tons of attachments probably not for this machine either. Patent dates on the plate say Dec 5 1882; Sept 22 1885; July 19 1887; Aug 21 1888; Jan 13, 1891.
Here are a couple pics:

Welcome! It is a good feeling when you get those old gals working no matter what kind of sordid past they might have had.[/quote]
Thanks Miriam,
I was born & raised in Indianapolis spent 10 days there in May. My Dh & I are both Purdue graduates & moved to Texas in 78 after a bitter cold winter, certainly never regretted the move, even with the heat we are currently having.
I'm still trying to figure out where she came from and a good name for her.
Have to get her in a place I can see her & see what needs to be done, then read all Billy's info on restoration!
Hopefully I can get her cleaned up & using b4 Christmas!

Wow, thats a puzzle box, good find there. I love that cabinet, looks like one of mine.

What spices do you put in the bread. Is your recipe in the recipe section of QB?
