Crinkle finish and other ugly finish machine thread
#12
The reproduction cases were readily available 8-10 years ago. I just did an Internet search and couldn't find any. that's the problem with imports from China: feast or famine. If China makes it this year, there's a glut of it. When that supply dries up, good luck finding it. True whether it's clothing, fabric, housewares, shoes, or sewing machines. 8-10 years ago, those cases were sold on ebay and at all Singer dealers and AllBrands, etc.

Ok here is one of mine. The rest are hiding their ugly heads on a shelf... This one is a light weight - about 11 lbs. It still has an original tag from when it was bought. The case weighs more than the machine.

I got that one at my LSMG. If my memory is working he charged me $20.00 or $30.00 for it.

Nice Domestic. The more machines I get the more I really like the old White made machines. They might be ugly, but they sure sew nice.
Oh, if they are still on the shelf, you could take a pic of the ones in your shop and post it. Maybe someone would want to adopt them.

I should take pics of the ones on the shelf. I just can't wild about them. There are a couple other machines up there, too. I figure if they set around long enough maybe they will grow on me... I think about 10 or 12 machines in all. Then there are Singer 15 machines with potted motors that I haven't touched. There has been a lot to do anyway.
