Sokey, I know that this is going to be long term search, because I also want one with REALLY good decals. (picky picky) For now I just got the VS2 Painted Roses and Daisies that is my "Grandma" Machine. (Her name was Daisy)

Nothing from my Bday year yet but I do have one with my name on it. :)

Rodney, you have hit the jackpot. I had a chance for a Ruby but it was priced too high for me at the time. That's my Grandma's name. My Mom & Dad were born in 1932. So those are good years. My 66 is my brother's birth year, so maybe I should call it Dave. This is a fun thread!

I found a shop where the guy services older sewing machines, I spent over an hour in the shop learning about older sewing machines. Don't think I am crazy but I do have 4 or maybe 5 machines ............so far.

BUHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! Amateur!!!! (ALL in fun) around here is seems like it's "20 to open" LOL

You guys are a blast. I think it would be nice to have a machine from my birth year, too! I am not too picky about the day, because I think that would be too difficult.

you can check the various singer listings here to see if they ordered production on a set on your BDay.
(unless you were born prior to 1900 you can ignore the No Letter Prefix set)

Darn it! i'm still three down to the 20 club! LOL

You're not weird. lol I have a singer made in 1963 and i was like ooh. that's the year Kennedy was shot. I would love a pink atlas so i can put it in a treadle. LOL yep grandma had a pink atlas in a treadle so thus... *wink* 1979 wasn't a great year in sewing machines. So no birth year machine for me. lol

I would love a featherweight from my birthday or even the year. 1965. I can dream, dream, dream, dream,dream.
