I did find a Singer handcrank that might interest someone here. The auction just started today and it is in Spokane WA.

(never taking it apart again).
Happily treadling in central Texas

P.S. We're currently piecing a double sawtooth star done in woven plaids and shirting prints for my DS.

I'm working on a nursery set for my newest grandchild. It's not like I don't have 149 OTHER machines to sew on, including a 201 HC and 201 electric, but I LOVE sewing on this one!! I'll try again tonight.

I have looked too after Charlee gave us the site. Lots of good deals if you can pick up. I notice there are alot in the Washington state area. That must be why she can find such great deals.
I hope she hasn't let the cat out of the bag so we are bidding against her.
:wink: :wink:

Couple quick question. We have a singer G0376-815 also a G9614 619 also a number 31-15 is on the head under the bobbin winder. Can't get on needlebar yet. Can you tell me the year made?
My mother had a Minnisota model B been in storage for about 30 years my sister has it and won't let it go. Stored in a shed. Has the coffen top cover. Would that be rare machine?

And the Minnesota is not a rare machine but it is not found that often.
