I am going to have to start playing the lottery so I have enough money to help Billy rescue them all.

The economy here is like it is everywhere...people need money,and the most expendable things are going first...machines that most look on as decorative fit that category... :(

I agree. It is not a Singer 66-1 but is a Singer 66 dash something. It is also called the Red Eye for the red eye in the decals. Nice machine in great shape. You did really well to get that for free!
I have many vintage machines. I did have a 66 Red Eye but traded it away to learn how to wire machines. My favorites are Singer 301 and 401. I also like my Pfaff 130; I find it much more reliable than later Pfaffs. (And that's only the start of my collection!)

Are you sure it isn't a little encouragement you'd be needin?
She is a pretty little thing. Think maybe I will name her Minerva and call her Nervie Jane, after my Great, Great, Grandmother.

Aurora - that is a beautiful machine. I'm glad you missed the first bid and got it for less. Enjoy cleaning her up. I am trying to do non singers for awhile because it seems like the treadle cabinets are prettier. What a reason.....I need help....

I had to come to this post because it is absolutely gorgeous!! And it is an Eldridge. This company merged with National and became one of the largest companies badging machines in America.
Remember talking about wishing you had a spool of thread for a bobbin instead of a little bobbin? These guys had that figured out and was patented under the National/Eldridge company.
The "National two spool" as it was known as was made somewhere in the teens and for a few years. Why it never really caught on I do not know, but I am going to say it had a lot to do with the "Sewing Machine Wars" which was a free for all that ended up setting almost every patent law we have in effect because of it.
But what makes this machine so important to me is the fact that it is an Eldridge and not a National. You hardly ever see an Eldridge especially one in this condition floating around.
This is a very important machine in the history of sewing machines!!
