I love those clones - maybe the owner is the real clone...

Had a Willcox & Gibbs go for auction sale on Sunday for $60. It needed some work but not $9300 worth. they also had some small Singers that went for $50 and $60 each.

They didn't have much after the quake and fire so they turned the coffin box over and packed it all in there.

They pushed it around on the treadle base...

At least now days we don't mistreat sewing machines that way...we use grocery carts to push our possessions around after a disaster.

not a bad price or anything - just a thought though - line these up in front of your hoard or treadles and you don't have to move the chair around - set it down and sew... put it back up and move to the next machine!!!
