Grandmas sew machine
I am cleaning up my sewing room. My husband is letting me put his grandmothers sewing machine on a shelf in my room. I am happy to have it as art in my room. I don't know if it works but I don't think so until I replace belts. My mother in law is brining me her sewing machine that she had when she was a kid which works and is still in box so I could place it next to hher moms. I can't wait to put hers up there. Here is grandmas machine. Wish we still had the table it sat in. Happy to have it either way.

The 185 was the first machine I purchased. A real workhorse - sewed many foam back drapes on that machine. After my girls were born I traded it in for a zig-zag. On Ebay they are selling for more than I paid for machine and cabinet which I think was $79.00 (a lot of money in 1962 or 63).

Think I will look into getting new belts for it if it powers up. Right now it's on a shelf. Might take it to get serviced. Has not been used in yrs. we had it for almost 3yrs. Right when I was learning.
