Found some treasures, but will only be visiting them.

Went browsing today and did find some machines, but way too pricey, but it's always fun to find them.

This last picture.. the tag has an explanation on it, but it looks like a "pinking shear" type thing, never saw one before, and I was tempted. Does anyone have these machines and what did you pay??..the machines were priced over $300.00.

Well, it looks like they have a museum rather than a store...

first looks like the 3/4 size New Home (think it's Arrow class) I bought a prestine one off ebay for around $100 plus shipping.

Second is a chain stitch, I don't know much about them but that seems like a very high price.


Last is a very common hand crank Singer pinker - you can pick one up off ebay for around $20 most days. If they had the box and instructions in perfect condition, maybe up to $45. If you don't want to wait, you can probably pay top price on a Buy it Now of $65 . Shipping should be under $15

Good to know...the first one said "Eldridge" machine on it, but the decals were pretty.

if it said Eldredge, than it's a National, which is more common than the New Home is. Makes it even more overpriced LOL!!

I've seen those pinking hand cranks on eBay for less than $50 (preshipping anyways).

Now, I'm going to have to be on the look out for the pinking hand cranks. I've never seen one............or if I did, I didn't know what it was. Would like to see one in person.

I would be interested in the first machine

Looks like the 1st is same as the decals on my Damascus and Maywood. Definitely not likely to move at $300 IMO
