Here's an American HC:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...fvi%3D1&_rdc=1 And here's an English: http://www.sewmuse.co.uk/Willcox%20and%20Gibbs.htm If the above ebay link doesn't work for you (can't use the tinyurl on Quiltingboard), it's item # is 130503468913. I have one of the electric W & G machines as well, but it's on loan to a friend. I'm pretty sure I would have bid on that Bernina, too! I have never been able to get close enough to one to buy it, though. Folks hang on to Berninas.

I got to go to one sale today between taking care of my animals and doctoring a sick horse for an out of town neighbor. Guess, what we got for $44? Another Wilcox and Gibbs, but this one has a hunkin big motor and a really cute "foot" pedal that is a foot! Also, got the original book and attachments! I'll post pictures tomorrow!

Judy As for the red one, I've been collecting a long time, and other than the red Vikings, I don't believe I've ever seen a red machine. |
The Howe is SO worth it!

I know, I am room-impared Miz Johnny, should I go rescue it anyway?? Silly question isn't it for this group. I just asked DH if he wanted to go on a road trip tomorrow, we'll see if it's still there. What would one go for if fairly priced?

Hi, sewbizgirl! You saw the same one I did, didn't you!!! I couldn't figure it out until I clicked on it and read the description!! LOL
[quote=sewbizgirl]How many times, in your Craig's list searches, have cars turned up in the search results? I'm so tired of people saying their used cars "run like a sewing machine"! What's up with that, anyway? I sure wouldn't want to drive something that ran like a sewing machine! When did this become such a cliche for a good-running old car? Crazy. |

We found out that the 221 has two different size brush caps. So look closely at the one you want to replace. There is a large brush cap and a small cap it depends on where the motor was made. Ask me how I know!

That little child's sewing machine is sooo cute. Would be perfect for my granddaughters. Wish he would ship!

Worked a bit in the basement, getting machines up off floor. Over the past few months, I've pulled out quite a few for one reason or another, and never got back to putting them away. I'm supposed to be on a sewing machine diet, but some things I just can't resist. I added a Howe A treadle in beautiful condition--it's still in the middle of my LR floor. Also, a W & Gibbs HC--American style--which I'll pick up the end of May. I sold a Necchi 523 and a couple of treadle bases that I'd decided not to use, so I'm ALMOST even. As soon as I get my computer back, I'll list more. I don't seem to be creating any space, though!! Truth of it is, if I were closer, I'd be there, too; and I DEFINITELY don't need any of those machines!! That honking big White was the one that caught my eye!! |
