    Wow. I would think at some point you will have to be a lot more selective in your gleanings.

    Actually Macybaby has a purpose for her machines. They plan to open a museum on their property and she has a very extensive knowledge base. I'm certain there were at least a few items in the package deal that will contribute something meaningful to her collection and I'm certain she is selective in her purchases. Sometimes you have to buy the mine to get the gold.

    I do pass up a lot, but getting a wide selection of treadle cabinet parts is right along with my "wants". Though I don't have a "need" for most of the machines, it was an "all or nothing" deal. The seller even put that in her listing - and wrote that she would not separate, so don't call asking if she would.

    Anyone notice some rather interesting details about it?

    It's got a Wheeler Wilson emblem in the middle of the bed, and WW throat/needle plates.

    I don't know if you have ever seen this, but I found it randomly one day. I'm assuming a it's a long bed 61. But I can't find one listed as a 5.

    amcatanzaro - that is a neat! I think the machine DH picked up is a bit later in mfg, using up the older WW beds but with a Singer head. The uptake bar is not in the same location, and a few other things are more "singer" than WW. I've got to go give it a good look over, and make sure my husband didn't miss something after the 5 when reading the number. I'll have to measure to be sure, but I think this one is longer than "regular" machines. It's interesting - if nothing else . . .

    DH and I will be picking up the rest of the "loot" on Monday. Maybe the seller will have found a few other interesting items tucked away somewhere she wants to get hauled off.

    Nice haul! It looks like great fun. I notice you have some drawers from a 4 drawer White cabinet. I need a top left hand drawer,mine is broken.
