Oh, I'm not the only one here. I just happened to be taking a break and was at my computer. Don't you just love "package deals"? You really "did good".

My 201 was my first and so my favorite.... It was also Great Grandma's bought new, given to Grandma, Given to mom, now mine... So it will always be my first go to. I have sew everything, including a quilt for a biker who was seriously injured. I made it out of bandana's and edged it in pleather. Never dropped a stitch, she is my baby and the only one in my room.

Yea I was like a kid in a candy store going through that storage unit. Well actually a very dirty kid with spider bites but who cares. Every time I opened a cabinet, looked in a box, or unlocked a case it was like Christmas. Because there were so many I got to give away so many, still make my money back and more and keep a bunch too. I am pure German so those Germans weren't going anywhere the second I knew what they were. On top of everything, I gave the woman who was getting rid of them more money after we had sold some because she was on difficult times and she has offered me the rest. Not going to "take" them but can't wait to see them and help her sell them. May have to buy a few myself as well. She has the hank cranks... which I don't know if I can pass up....

The machine on the first pages is a 15-90, not -91. The 15-91s use the potted motor and this one has the externally mounted motor.
The copper face plate is really attractive. That is a nice looking machine.
The treadle is gorgeous. I wouldn't mind sitting at that one and making it go.

There is a man called Alex Askaroff with a site called sewalot.com in GB. He is a wizzard with machines and has written many books about England ans has sewing publications also. He would know about your German machine. They are a little on the rare/scarce side in the US. I have read about them online. Maybe ISMACS.com site would help. They have international info. also. Congradulations on your neat find. You will love Alex's books. Our library has some of them.
