Whoa!!! That is a beauty, even before cleaning it. Those decals are so pretty and the cabinet is awesome :D

Anyone heard of this one?
FW clone called the MINI Classic made in the 90's.

http://sfbay.craigslist.org/sby/hsh/2449094017.html

This guy is always posting some cool looking or pretty machine, but he is a bit high for me. I try to get all my machines around a $100 or less.

I copied the picture just in case the listing is removed.

Oh, and motor looks huge!

Save your money and buy a real featherweight. The fw clones aren't all they're cracked up to be.

It's almost as cute as a FW. This is the only thing I could find about it:

For the amount he is asking it would be just as good to get the original FW.

Sharon, I found a real FW about a week ago. The lady had posted it as a 15-91 on CLs with photo of the machine. I realized the mistake and called quickly. I'm now the proud owner of a FW!


I wasn't going to purchase this, just curious about it.

Treadle machine by 'unique' - CL item for $25. Another poor, dusty, neglected machine calling out for help! I still have my eye on the one in the parlor cabinet, but this seems interesting. Maybe not, if I saw it closer. I still do want a treadle or a crank. I never heard of the manufacturer - any ideas?

Very nice White Rotary. It should clean up really nice with those decals. Also the measuring tape painted on the cabinet is in wonderful shape. Be careful cleaning that....ask me how I know. :(

Look forward to seeing after the spa treatment.
