We meet up here at my house in Central Oregon, and hit the quilt/antique/junk stores here....we swing out and go thru NE Oregon, SE Washington, making sure that we hit South Central Washington, on over to the coast, down the coast, and kind of weave our way back here. We'll take William so he can drive, haul the Uhaul trailer with all of our goodies, and manhandle the machines, and remind us to stop and eat! :lol: Got to hit some "dives" with yummy good food. One of my favorite shows is "drive-in, diners, and dives". We will need to stop at some of those places along this expedition. |
Can't you just picture this. A caravan full of quilter, sewing machine ladies pull up to a yard sale.
The ladies are laughing and cheering and having a great time. So the yard sale has a featherweight and a 66 redeye for $10 each. HHHHMMMM see who is laughing and cheering when this is over..... I'll tell you what I'll have the yard sale and you all show up and fight over who gets to buy what... |
Miriam...you ARE going to let me have early pick...right? Wouldja take $5 each? ;)
I'll take them BOTH!! :lol: |

I haven't used mine since I need to find the little ball bearings for the pitman rod. Playswithcolor has 031503 Free #5 bought at end of WW1 1918 or 1919? Monica's Free 0240726 - is it a Free # 5? Nana's Free 827313 - is it a Free #5? My friend Deb's Free #5 - C76088 My Free #5 - C83642 Do you all have the Free #5? Does anyone else have one with pending patent dates written on the cabinet top? Does anyone have a Free with patent dates on the slide plate? If so, what are the dates? Nancy Please make sure I have the correct serial numbers. I want to try and figure out why two of the serial number start with 'C'? Something to do with patent's still pending on those machines or a different factory? I just found patent dates on my slide plate! It says: PATENTED FEB 11-02 SEP 15-09 " " " DEC 21-09 OCT 17-05 JAN 4-10 JULY 30-07 MAY 20-13 OTHER PATENTS PENDING NOTICE TO JOBBERS & DEALERS THIS MACHINE IS SOLD SUBJECT TO CONDITIONS AND RESTRICTIONS AS TO PRICE AT WHICH, AND PERSONS BY WHOM IT MAY BE RESOLD, ASCERTAIN- ABLE FROM THE MANUFACTURER UPON APPLICATION The slide plate in the front has info concerning the 'number of cotton' 'size of needle' and 'number of silk' So, it looks like mine is no older than May 20, 1913..that is 21 years older than my Dad. |
