I hope you mean one of each.

Crossstitcher, I actually meant one machine only, not one of each kind, but I'm easy so tell me which one of each kind you'd pick.

Hi was just kidding with you. I knew what you ment. Well I have a 301 which I use a lot along with a FW. I have lots of machines and can't really pick just one.

It seems like each one has a personality for what it likes to do doesn't it? I just know I got rid of the plastic ones... weren't fit for anything anyway.

Always keep a working plastic one, though, just in case anyone needs to borrow one, so you can hang on to the vintage ones. LOL

Very pretty!! You did good with your offer! :)

Hmmm that might be a good guess but look at the center drawer it swings out like the Standard and Eldredge. Did the White have a swing out drawer?

Okay you notice the shuttle plate sliding off of the machine there in the photo? That is why most machines are missing those plates, they get loose after being slid a million times in their lives and then the just slip off and you have a machine missing the front shuttle plate.

As for the machine I am leaning on a Davis looking at the regulator on the bed.

Billy

Hopefully she will respond. I have no idea. I don't have a Davis. Is the one you are looking at a vertical feed?

Ah! It's *just a guess* based on the bed of the machine. And yes, I believe they did...let me go searching to see what I can fine!

grayhare, that's a very pretty Redeye. If I wanted another treadle, I'm partial to that decal.

The Davis vertical feed in GR is still at $6.00 and I have a full tank of gas. Remind me why I don't need another machine. Actually, the cabinet is too rough for me, but they do have a very old Domestic coffin top with a folding extension for the cabinet that looks pretty good. That one is $7.00.

Still no reply, but looking at Thayer Rags machines, the closest I saw was a National Damascus. We may never know.
