How about "Flower Girl"?

CD in Oklahoma

I like Flower Girl and I will consider it. Thanks
Glenn

She's a little old to be called 'flower child' but maybe she was ahead of her time..

Oh, I LOVE that table!! But :cry: I don't have another inch of space in my sewing room. No, not even 1/2 inch!!! :cry:

Did you notice that the seller thinks a FW can be used with that table with just a bit of tweaking? :roll:

Maybe by taking the whole top off??? LOL Some people have very creative imaginations!! LOL

Sharon, I noticed what the ad said! I guess those sellers just think we are all pretty gullible!

Oh, and my offer got turned down!

Nancy

Nice machine!! I think your offer was reasonable...what's the matter with them??? :-)

A Singer 66-16 from the 50s! Good model! The reverse levers are all white on that model, although sometimes they’re so grungy that it’s hard to tell.

I was going to guess a Singer 15-91 Centennial. The handle on top of the BW case is common for 1950s machines.

Good snag.

She was a bit grungy with second hand smoke and she has a bit of rust but not bad. Cleaned up good. The white lever isn't too bad now and the decals are decent - a few good scrapes on the deck though. I have yet to clean her bobbin area and oil her - I'm tired. Motor sounds good - no smoke - not loud. Thanks for the info - I should look up her number. It's AL455976

Top two photos Bay Area
Bottom photo Sacramento

Just the difference is the cabinets and one machine still says W&W.

Both beauties!!

For the white flowers on the machine, you could name her:
Fiona, meaning white or fair.

For the blue flowers on the machine, you could name her:
Blue Bell, constancy, never-ending-love
Periwinkle, beginning of friendship
Veronica, fidelity

Or Glenn, you could call her Myosotis sylvatica, since the blue flowers look like Forget-me-not.

Forget-me-not, true love, memories, hope.

Maybe Sylvia for short.
