When I am out there with them it's still a lot to deal with. I haven't posted the really bad ones. In many cases even what appears to be bad might be a diamond in disguise. I have ones like this Singer 15, that is coated in grime--is that cigarette smoke? But I rubbed a bit with sewing machine oil and it started to come off. The decals look intact underneath as long as I can clean it without damaging them. The garage was not airtight, and critters certainly visited a few that were placed low to the ground too.

O my, this has been a real fun read this afternoon. Both of you are lucky beyond belief to fall into something like this--but I have an idea this is what is going to happen when I am finally six foot under--I have one son who won't sell anything, but the other one and my daughter will be watching for his back to be turned and all my stuff will go into the back of that big truck that can be rented for about $250. I'll be watching and remembering this post as you two work your way through this little adventure. Congratulations.....
