Do either of you know anything about a 1917 Western Electric vintage machine? It has the rounded wooden case like Billy's new Singer.

Just ran across a nice looking Decker sewing machine. It has a shuttle and is trundle driven. That is all I know. Does anyone know anything about this Brand of machine? Thanks.

You want to be VERY careful about oiling a motor...on any machine...even on the ones that you are supposed to oil, (they have little holes for that purpose) if you overdo it, you can burn out the motor....

Pictures of the 201-2 are posted on page 12 of this thread....I'm just tickled pink with this machine...I do need to find an original foot pedal for her, and I want to see if I can't accumulate all of the attachments that I can for her...buttonholer, zigzag, etc....and I want a nicer cabinet for her....right now she's in a waferboard (pressed wood) cabinet that's simply butt ugly!

Hello Charlee,
I was looking for your 201 pics to show Hubby your pretty find. Thanks for posting they are on page 12.
I have been following this thread and when I have all my pics together in one place here I will post my pretties too.
Blessings to you,
Sandi
PS. Thanks Billy for starting this awesome thread.
