The first card kind of reminds me of the first wooden viewfinders. I don't remember the name. Stereographs(?) I wonder what would happen if you put it in one of these.

Not my picture, just one I googled.

Thanks for showing these pics. I just received my grandmother's 1948 Davis Vertical Feed sewing machine & am
learning about it.

Here's one on Craig's List. No, I'm not going to start buying the advertising too. I have really strong packrat/hoarder tendencies and it's just easier not to start. I avoid the toy sewing machines for the same reason.

I know what you mean Rodney - I've been so, so tempted to collect the Singer cards, no real reason to, except that they are out there and I don't have them. LOL!!!

But then I had a dream a few weeks ago about it being "my time" and realized I really don't want to leave all this for someone else to have to deal with!

CD,

All in fun, I wasn't being serious. Looks like the kids got in the sugar or cookie jar and took a tumble. I did a little more research and came up with the saying "just another cog in the machine"

Davis was very creative in their marketing. Thanks for showing some really cool trade cards.
