The American Cancer Society has a "discovery sale" in our area once in a while. Today was the last day, everything was free!! (yes, free!!) I was wandering around the aisles, picked up a few random items (shirts, books, etc) and all of a sudden, something caught my eye..... It was a vintage Singer!! Holy Cows!! FOR FREE!!!!!!! So, needless to say, it followed me home! :D :D
It needs some work, some cleaning and such, but looks to be in really good condition!! Yippee!!
So I'll be looking for how to restore these old machines! (Billy, you there?? :lol: :lol: )
Thanks for looking! (I'm a bit excited, can you tell?? :lol: )

Original Cabinet?

Oh! It was manufactured in 1938 in Elizabeth, NJ.

It definitely was, Craftybear! I can't believe it was still there!

Congratulation on your "Free" singer. She looks beautiful. Carefull these vintage machines are very addicting. My collection started with a free Singer, and now I have 12 of them. :roll:

Some of mine are being stored in the closet right now. The person who built this big farm house had the right idea with putting in 9 closets. I haven't had the time to play with my toys as much as I'd like.
