My "new" baby

We have a website here for Northeastern Ontario called Myzer & a lady had it on there. I am originally from Niagara Falls & with all the auction sales they have down there I would stand a better chance getting a "red eye" in Niagara but of course, that doesn't do me much good here. Anyway, I am in love with my new little treasure. I have wanted one for years. Of course, the "red eye" is my 1st choice but this is a wonderful 2nd. My husband got hired by Timmins Police so that is what brought us to the far north. No desire to move back to Niagara but would be nice to be closer in distance but not too close. Tks for your interest. She does work though, not that I am too concerned about that. They say this vintage collecting is addictive so I might in lots of trouble LOL.

The lady I bought her from said that she works. I haven't tried her but everything turns & goes up & down with no problems so I can assume she works. She is my first so I am so happy I could burst. Thank you all for your wonderful comments.

Oooh, nice! She is a twin to mine. Haven't sewn on my yet as I had to find a shuttle bobbin case and bobbin which I now have. The trouble with collecting machines is that you have to sew 24/7 to sew on them all. LOL

Wow what a beauty!
I agree with you, Charlee is a very valueable resource, and so has Miriam been to me. there are so many with knowledge and willing to share and help you on this board. It is a wonderful place. Muv's videos for cleaning are spot on. I used her ideas for my Singer godzilla. and I used the same ideas on the White Rotarty.
