I still want a W&G Chainstitch machine and a Queen Anne table with matching chair. I suppose I have to add that featherweight table that slipped through my fingers last month too. That one still feels like a kick in the gut but in reality, I had no business leaving here with a pet that needs fluids and pills daily anyway. Karma was just reminding me of that.

222Ks and 221s in general are reasonably easy to get here in Canada and usually the prices are more reasonable than in the US for the 222Ks - they're out there.

Joe-I also have the #42 cabinet with the 201, which someone also painted white. One of these days I'll strip it and see how it comes out. I got it at an auction several years ago, for $2.50. I also have a 319, 401, etc., so I would have to say, that my holy grail, would be a long arm, yes, I know they're not antiques. LOL

I have only two items on my "Holy Grail" list right now. I got a Singer 15 with La Vincedora decals just last week. That was on my list. It was advertised as a Singer 27 with red eye decals. Don't know where they got their info. I still want a Free #5 with peacock decals and a wrap around hand crank. The machines I have with no cabinet are all pre 1906 and have no motor mount. Only saw one and it was already sold.. and the Free #5s are always out of my price range.. Maybe someday....Sigh! Linda

I have always wanted a nice pink machine, vintage of course and in really good shape, a raspberry Morse would be nice. I have been lucky here lately and have found a lot of the machines that I have wanted so have to start another list.lol Oops, I would really like to find a two spool nice condition machine. I have always wanted one of those.
