I think I have a problem
DH and I are in Switzerland, for business, his. Last weekend we visited a resale shop and found a lovely hand-crank Naumann, for 35 chf. The price is okay, but figuring out how to get it back to California is the problem. As it is, we've been here about 10 days, I am completely without sewing equipment, and I'm going into withdrawl. Now I'm wondering about how much it would cost, and how difficult it would be to pack it for shipping.
Sigh, I knew I should've brought my featherweight. Next time (if there is a next time) I won't let DH talk me out of it.

You can do it! Here's how my repair guy packs his machines for shipment:

I would buy that it in a heart beat--look how pretty it is, and those decals? You'd be the owner of a machine that's rarely seen in the states. Doooo eeeeet!!

Lovely machine. Make sure it has the right bobbins and shuttle with it. Singer long bobbins don't necessarily fit some of the old German machines. I'd love to get my sticky little mitts on a Naumann. 35 Swiss francs, that's just less than £24. I'd get it. Just don't carry it by the handle on the cover - ever!
