Do you think your DH might have one shipped? :-D

I posted a machine with the Lavincendora decals with the Indian Star. Billy said they were rare.

I have a 15-30 with Sphinx decal and Indian Star. They surface occasionally, but are not what I would call common. Right now, there are 2 in the house; mine and one I picked up for a girlfriend.

I watched a few of those videos yesterday. They are done well. I have 2 VS machines and I much prefer my other treadles, Singers 201k and 15-90K, they're quieter.

Okay here are some of the advertisements that were out in the day. This should give you a look back into history and a chance to see what life was like for the quilter that used a machine to piece blocks together.

I want everyone to feel like they are family and do not be afraid to share knowledge with us. Remember this is OUR shop and I want it to be a wonderful place for us to step back into time and relive the "Golden Age" of sewing machines.
As you can tell by the decor it is almost like you just stepped back into history sometime in the 50's and boy would you look at the machines and the store front! No modern cars out there!! We have the Doo Wop and Big Band playing in the background and unlike some places we have all sorts of machines here from treadles to the latest and greatest Japanese machines (I wonder if they will ever catch on) and of course we even have several FW's!!
So now let the fun begin!!!
