    Default The Mermaid Antique Sewing Machine
    An estate sale has this one. No Mermaids on Needlebar or ISMACS (using the search button anyway). Wow, is it dusty! And is that a tension device in the middle of the arm? Any info welcome!

    Wow, it was used quite a bit during it's lifetime. Wouldn't it be great if the case could talk! I'd love to know it's history.
