Yes, I looked it up earlier and found that out. I am pretty excited about it! I should have went to bed an hour ago, but found a neat site about Singer through the ages 1850-1940. I've checked this page several times this evening with each new post. Well, I need to stop for now---although I will probably check back 1st thing in the morning....I need to think about a place for it to go when it gets here...lol[/quote]
Hispatchwork, What's the URL to that website please? Thanks, Sharon W. |
[quote=Cindy Lou Who]Be careful if your Hubby does get interested in the "old girls" because it can get addictive. My Hubby has a long list of names and phone numbers of people that have an old machine they might want to sell. ?uote]
Is this ever true. Mine is crazy about them old ones. LOL |

Am I not following what he is saying or is it my Half Hymers??????

Jan, I have a couple of winders, will look and see if one fits. Your decals are just in great condition. What a deal! I had 9 treadles at one time. Now I'm down to one White. No room for more.
