I guess it’s just some silly trivia. These vintage machines are still working history. When I get one I always wonder what was sewed on it. A debutantes dress for the ball? The quilts that kept everyone warm when no one had money for coal? Or did they just buy a $4 sewing machine because they thought they needed it?

My 1930ish Jones came from Hull, England and belonged to their minister’s wife during WWII. It may have even been there during the Blitz (from what I have researched, they worked in several parishes in the area). Bet it has some tales to tell.
