Just thought folks might like to see my newest tradecard.
It is a Singer card from the early 1880's, I love the back with all of the info!

Thanks Rodney. The pink ones aren't rare but they don't show up as often as the blue or tan ones. This one is exceptional. After I put it back together I did the test stitch out and it went through 16 layers of quilting cotton with a size 12 needle with perfect stitches. I have a pink Riviera too, it's a little older than the Selectomatic.[ATTACH=CONFIG]488935[/ATTACH]

Domestic model 999M freearm zigzag
Domestic model 999M freearm zigzag. Bought it yesterday for the low, low price of $5.00 cash.
Evidently sold under several nameplates such as Nelco, Singer, Domestic, and White model 999 or 999someletter.
Made in Taiwan instead of Japan, but seems like a good 1980-ish machine, similar to my Kenmore 6 but has more stitches. Takes Singer low shank style attachments. Some of the factory attachments came with this but some are missing. I haven't popped the cover to see how much plastic, but a YouTube of the White version said only a couple plastic pieces.
Download the manual free from Singer support site. :-)

I was a kid in the '70s and my mother "antiqued" some old furniture that was already ugly and painted. Those kits came in that colonial type colors. These are what I remember, because I was with her at the store when she picked her colors: that green, a slate-ish blue, a brick red, a harvest gold, and something like a light-oak tan. You painted, then rubbed the antiquing glaze over it as the second step after the paint had dried.

Domestic 999M cams
fyi on the Domestic 999M cams --- "We are plastic, if you please. We are plastic, if you don't please. " haha
But the machine hasn't been used much at all, and I am sure I will get my $5 of use out of her. Has that white grease on the gears, too, doesn't it?
