Another sad 'repurposed' nightmare. I'm particularly fond of the tassels. http://newyork.craigslist.org/fct/fuo/4826433333.html

Those tassels really do add a "certain something" - just not quite sure what though. Lol!

This one looks pretty good IMO - minus the tassels. Nothing wrong with recycling and much better than tossing out a perfectly usable base.

Of course it reminds you of your Monarch, Brother built both of them. Nice ad, the only thing I can take exception with is the year. AFAIK, Brother didn't distribute machines in the US until 1954.

Okay, just finished reading all the posts. Nice ad Miriam, you do a great job of it.

Odd you would say that - I have the bill of sale and the original manual. Pics are on the way.
HHHMMMMM That should raise the price of it some eh??? The original Brother sold in the US.

Oh dear for that ad I just copied the front page of the manual... LOL
