Isn't she lovely? She is pretty dirty, and I will be giving her a good cleaning over the next week. I named her after my maternal grandmother, Ida Mae Rottmann, who loved all fabric and sewed all the clothing and quilts for her whole family of 8 children on a treadle Singer on a farm in central Missouri.

She is a Pretty Ida!! I am getting delivery of a black long bed 301a tonight. Paid a little more than you did, but she is complete with case.
