It had the wooden WW box with accessories in it. I didn't look too closely at which ones or if there were bobbins.

What's even more interesting is that per the article no substance like red mercury has been proven to exist. To make matters worse it's supposed to be in the needle. How many needles have been in those machines over the years?

Mercury is poisonous. If anyone wants to send me their old Singers for safe disposal, I'll take them off their hands free of charge.

Ha, ha! I was imagining all these old treadle machines, lying on their sides in the middle of a pasture, all covered in mud.

"I bought this machine about 30 years ago, I took steel wool and stripper to clean it up, and put a varnish on it."

Yikes. Wonder how it would look after a couple of gallons of sewing machine oil and a thousand cotton balls?

Heck, I'll just sell them the needles for SR100000 and save them some shipping costs.

I wonder what they would want if they knew it was kind of rare?

Loose? Is loose the new broken?

It looks like a lady of fine reputation trying to hitch a ride. I wonder why it hasn't been painted blue yet.

It's amazing isn't it? That whole side of the cabinet is seriously damaged. I just don't see $400 even given which machine it is.
