yes... Katie... all people are not the same,,, but i must admit... about 4 "notes" into this, the same thought has occured to me... this is a great place for "info"...but not for emotional support by all....

I guess some people like Reproductions. Some of us want the real thing????? What do you think?

Are you asking our opinions over buying a repro or an original?? If so, the original will retain value and be better made. Isn't this sort of a dead horse in that a photo hasn't even been posted?

Katie I have 3 old W&G Wilcox & Gibbs machines, they are cute as a button, but not in working order, I do have a FW and I love it and it works, its birthday did not matter to me, as being a war baby they did not make them in my year. Some fw purest do not like the new paint on some, red blue what ever, BUT I'd love to have one in each jewel color, and if they are not worth as much when I croke ask me if I care? not at all I want what I want and enjoy it, who ever gets it later? well they can like it or not, NOT my problem, you just enjoy your new baby and have fun with her, by the way have you named her yet? mine is Birgit :-)

Apparently this means more to you than me Candace!

So, you ask for an opinion and I gave you mine. If you don't like it, then don't ask for an opinion to start with.

She never asked for opinions, she was just sharing her excitement over a gift. It's not so much what is said, but how it is said...rather like your tone of voice reveals so much more then the words alone, the tone of some of the posts was painful to read and they weren't directed to me.

I see. Thanks for the clarification.

You're quite welcome ;-)
