We've adopted another hand crank

DH and I went to one of our favorite antique stores and found a new member for our collection.
[ATTACH=CONFIG]438877[/ATTACH] It's an 1894 Singer 28 with scroll and roses decals that are in pretty good shape. It is missing the needle, shuttle and bobbin, but we got the price down a bit because of missing parts. We haven't been on the hunt since last year - we're kind of running out of room. So we've decided to focus on collecting hand cranks. This one we have named Catherine - an elegant name for an elegant machine! |
Oh, I love that machine. I have also kind of taken to the hand cranks. I found one just last week that was an original made in 1909. The gentleman I bought it from said he got it while he was stationed in England. It has the Victorian decals that are nearly perfect. So, so beautiful.
