Last week I went to an estate sale and they were selling at 50% off. I came across some wonderful sewing machines; 1 for $30 and one for $40. Take a look at them:
Machine 1 is an antique 'red eye' Singer, made in the 1920's. $30:
Complete with cabinet:
And serial number:
Machine #2 is a Singer, don't know anything about it except it sews like a charm and was $40.
It was the original one I fell in love with:
Complete with 'new' old cabinet:
Love everything about this machine. The sound of the motor with it running, the way it feels to sew on it and the look.
Originally, I thought I could put this machine in the red eye cabinet. That is why I bought the other - loved its cabinet and the regular Singer machine.
What was I thinking? The other is a treadle machine!
It. Won't. Work.
Now my questions:
Why did I buy them?
Why did I love them so much?
What the heck am I going to do with them?
What the heck was I thinking?
I am sure I wasn't.
Anyone want two machines? I will sell them for what I bought them for.
But they sure are purty.
