So, I went onto Ebay and found that the several Pfaff 130s which are not selling for quite that much, although one was clearly intended by seller as a parts machine, so am wondering where their prices come from. He does have some nice vintage machines but pricey, very pricey for my pocketbook. I would like a 130 but don't need to have one because I have lots of other good vintage machines. DH agrees it's nice but way too pricey for his wallet. What do y'all think? ~ Chris

Wow, Charlee I love the Hitachi treadle. It is still strange to me and exciting to own my Hitachi given that Hitachi claims they did not ever make sewing machines - yet, Monica found several of them listed in Japan! I just sent my e-mail to the wrong department in Hitachi - still makes it a fun machine to own! I have not seen another Hitachi here in the states, though!Nancy

Some years back my wife and I went to a gun show here in Springfield. One vendor had a small dog, chiwhawha size in a small dogie basket right on the corner of his booth. Dog got all the attention in the world and was out of the way.
Another vendor had the doggy basket/bed under his table. Worked great.
Beings Mowgli's recovering from surgery he'll be a needy little fellow, but I'll be he'd be more loved than otherwise.
