What a great article. Thank you for sharing it. I am sure that most of us have a love of vintage machines. I have 2 Singer treadles one authenticated to 1906), a Featherweight Singer 221 and a Singer 401. I don't think I will get to 400 machines. That pocket machine is fascinating. There is a family museum here in Colorado that have a washing machine collection that is great to see. Your trip to their home should be wonderful.

Wow! The photos are great Manicmike! Judy and Wayne you have a fabulous collection! I am sure any of us would be in heaven around all those old machines.
Cathy, no it does nothing to calm the fires does it? I am feeling very comfortable with my "little" collection now lol!

Totally understand that Cathy. When I was walking out I had a strong urge to go buy a new machine (which I did and have organised to pick it up on Tuesday).

I have REALLY got to stop! I almost gave in, thought I could just buy a WW8 and an early boat shuttle White (I love the look of them) and then have those two that take Boye Needles I don't yet have a machine for.
But the whole reason I sent the early attachments off for both was because I told myself I don't want machines from that early an era!
Though if I can find a non-boat shuttle machine that take the Davis (White) Long needle, then maybe I'll rethink they WW8, because that one fits my Rotary collection, and that's a different collection from the Boye Shuttle collection.
Wait - did I just admit to a third collection? At least I barely got started on the "dash board" machine collection before I went too far.
Yea, I admit I have a problem - is that the first step to a cure?
