as of Thursday evening, she is still waiting on the insurance investigator to make a showing .. so there is going beyond that yellow tape. since the fire it has rained 4 days.
That machine stand that shows is all I can see of any of the machines. That stand was a good working machine. It now sits upside down I can tell it's broken or could be just the center brace is broken. I can see it is very rusted at this point. sitting next to each other was this and a white, both were coffin tops..
I will be getting what we can find off the machines. All I can hope for is that some of the frames are usable and there handwheels, This area was the Hot spot , over head was huge beams hand hewn, the old wood floor was the oiled type floor.
In an other hobby (VW Buses) A guy in that forum, In germany Has his shop/barn burn a little over two weeks ago. total loose and set by a 11 yr old kid. In his building was a early 60's Bus, with a sliding side door. which wasn't offered to the public until 1968. There was only 36 of those even made ..
He has already. put this Bus on a trailer and is showing it in there car shows, a crumpled up burned VW Bus.
This
maybe the thing to do with these sewing machines

So sorry for the lose of your building and treasures, I went through the same thing several years ago, mine was torched by a teenager?? There was so little left that it's a shame. I still think about an item then go OH it was in the barn. good luck.

Fire is so devastating! I can still remember when I was about 10 years old, our house in Oklahoma burned, while we were visiting in Arkansas -- we lost everything, including winter coats, clothes, etc. and pictures. I am so sorry for the loss in your town -- so many things like that are irreplaceable.
