They totally are, Rob. I was looking at a little hand crank on here the other day and thought "That would be so cute on my side table". Now I'll be out looking for one for real just to display it with my other antiques!

This is my "Machine Shed"

The LA is on the east (right) side


I have my FW collection, and a few other Singers on display in the house.

And then there is "storage"
WOW!!! What a collection! I'm going to have to show my DH when he gets off work! We just got my first treadle for restoring, so I don't have a collection (yet:)) This is like a museum! Most of them are in working order too, I'm guessing?

I don't actually know. Last time I counted it was over 150, and I've added a few and given away a few. . . I am currently on a give away program to other collectors, but due to my location and difficulty in shipping, it's not going well.

I'm being very, very strict with myself on not buying more unless they are near the top of my "most wanted" list.

Cathy, your pictures made me laugh. I will have to show them to my friends when they start to question why I have 6 machines. I feel like such a slacker! LOL

Cathy, unfortunately I'm two states away from you otherwise I'd gladly help take some off your hands!

StevH and Glen, man it's really good to see you guy still post. I was just about to ask where some of the original poster with their pix. Love, your collections and Glen really loving your décor and arrangement.
I have a small collection of my own. I have two FW that sits in their original cases, one Brother serge that sits in a box and a 1938 electric White in a cabinet and a 1957 Singer 401A in a cabinet. Let me try pix again, it all new to me.

This just a pix of the 401A in the case for now.

So, I'll go for the pix of the White a little later cause I think my Wi-Fi is messing with me.

That's a pretty nice case! I brought my case over on Tuesday and it's still in the car. It's ugly blonde fake wood and it was used by someone as work bench to hold something that was painted red. I know who that someone is and I'll never let him live it down! (It would have killed him to cover it with newspaper? :hunf: )

I'll post photos when I can. If anyone has some suggestions on what I can do with this case - short of tossing it in the trash - I would appreciate it.

Here it is in all it's ugliness!

The Ford Deluxe doesn't have a top to the case so it got shifted out to the garage for now.
