Today I only have one item for this weekly post, but what a doozy it is!
I made a quick round of my three usual thrift stores and I literally found nothing. . . until I walked through the last room of the last store and my eyes beheld this. . .
very old sewing machine!!!
I figured I wouldn't be able to afford it because I've never seen one of these for less than $50. I sent my younger son to the front desk to ask for the price. He came back and said it was $15. Well, I couldn't believe it! I sent a photo to my hubby who happened to be on his way home from work. He swung by to take a look. Long story short- this old beauty belongs to us now!
Here it is folded up into its cabinet. I know, it needs work- but $15, People!
Here's a close up of the sewing machine. Sigh. . .
My hubby looked it up and determined that it was made in 1936. Whew! I do believe this is my deal of the year!
My hubby even offered to help me fix it up. What a sweetie.
Thanks for stopping by and God bless.
Therefore, my beloved brethren, be steadfast, immovable,
always abounding in the work of the Lord,
knowing that your labor is not in vain.

ReplyDeleteI love old Singer sewing machines! I currently have a hand crank machine in a wood case and my great grandmothers 1950-60ish industrial machine.

ReplyDeletewhat an awesome find! cute and functional and vintage at the same time :) i remember my grandma everytime i see a Singer sewing machine :) and for $15 its a big fat yes :D God bless!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great buy! I too love old Singer machines. I have too many honestly, but I do use them! My best find was a Singer 301 with a case for $25! I use the 301 for piecing quilts and mending jeans, they go through just about anything. Your machine probably just needs a good cleaning, some oil, a new needle and maybe a tension adjustment, but be sure to check the wiring. Great find!
