OK...I "think" by bucket list is complete with this Lotus 66K
Picked up a lovely treadle the other day, and this was also in the booth, but had no dome top with it, so I passed but did ask if the top was available...got no reply but today when we returned to the antique mall it was there so after some "wheeling and dealing" it came home with me. It is a handcrank to boot, and made in Scotland in 1914...it was tagged as a 1910 Singer 28K, but I knew it was probably a 66 since I have one already. Sure enough it is a 66K...people do get confused over the serial numbers sometime. I had never seen a "Lotus" up close and personal...even the face plate matches the decals....it's in need of some shining up and some oil, but I'm doing the happy dance.....(and I think I'm done for quite a while now.) Hubby has found my last 3 machines...now he's making an extension table for me to fit the big portable Singers.

Great score! I've got a lotus in a cabinet, and it's got that same face plate. I recently picked up a hand crank with the Lotus decal on it, so mine is on the way to being swapped out into a bentwood case.
I have a handcrank with the decals like yours on my Tiffany 28.

Absolutely beautiful! My MIL has a Lotus 66 treadle in a cabinet, but my BIL keeps saying he would love to have some day (for show, not use!) so I guess it will never be mine, even though I am the only one who sews in the family. My MIL was saying I should take it when my BIL spoke up. Darn.
