I really like the Singer toy machines. Has anyone had any luck in finding one at a good price. I've only seen them on ebay, and what is considered a good price for these?
Thank you, Anamaria

Ah---my soul sister!!
THIS is how it happens. You have 100 machines? People look at you like you're nuts. You try to tell them you're a COLLECTOR, but people think of collections as, well--spoons or thimbles. Something nice and small. But sewing machines?? There must be something WRONG with you.

I am having a yard sale next weekend if the weather is OK, so will try to take some pictures after that. Then you will see the problem. And tell me to have another yard sale.

Yes people do look at us like we are nuts. Then say how many machines can you sew on at one time? I tell them DH oils them up and cleans them and I sew on them. I can sew on about 95 of them some are parts machines. They still think we are nuts. Then the next question is where do you put them all. We have them here and there but DH built a building to store them and built me a sewing studio and I will have five in there plus the ones not in a cabinet.

You guys really have me going now; I haven't quilted in 2 days!

Does anyone know what this is? I am getting it this week for $15. Looks like a good restoration project. One of the pics shows the beginning of the serial number starting with C. Is this a 66 from 1908? Thanks for any feedback!
