I went to an estate sale this morning and saw this girl they hadit marked ten dollars but Mom girl said it was my birthday and the woman gave it to her for the five dollars she had in her pocketso she could give it to me for my birthday

Table is pretty bad shape but I think she will be pretty when she gets cleaned up

She's going to be absolutely beautiful when you get her cleaned up and sewing! Are you going to use her?
What a nice birthday gift! :)

I have a wicked mind :mrgreen: 'Climax' ? interesting

Lostn51 06-25-2011 05:23 PM

SWEET!!!! That was probably the best $5 spent this weekend!

That will be a nice machine when it is cleaned up and it will clean up nicely! Just follow my tutorials on the cleaning and you will be okay.

Never heard of "Climax" sewing machine. It is amazing what people have had in their possession all these years. What a treasure!
