I, for one, collect them. I specialize in old treadles and handcranks. I make mine fully functional. I have found the old Singers, prior to the 600 series, can sew through almost anything without a problem. >>
Amen! My little Singer 99K is a gorgeous machine. The two Brother machines (one sewing, one embroidery only) are functional, and look it. They create beautiful things, but they aren't beautiful things in and of themselves. Of course, I still want a treadle machine, and a handcrank, and a Featherweight, and ooh of course that shiny Duetta with the HUGE embroidery field. :-) Dianne _______________________________________________ h-costume mailing list h-costume@mail.indra.com http://mail.indra.com/mailman/listinfo/h-costume
