Actually-I saw her the cabinet at a garage sale (the only one I went to that day) and it was closed, in the back, with no price tag. Later that day, I was talking to a friend at a party, and she mentioned having seen it, too. She thought it was a 301. I figured it was history! The next morning, I saw the gal who had the garage sale at church and asked her about it-she said she'd forgotten to open it up and price it-said she was going to ask $10-would I like to see it? Of course!!! So-we went straight to her place, climbed over all of the stuff left from the sale, and opened it up and was surprised how it gleamed in the dark garage!! Knew it wasn't a 301 (which is on my bucket list!) but didn't care!! Handed her the $10 and arranged to pick it up yesterday. I knew it was a 1949, because of the AJ in the serial number (my FW is also a '49). Gosh-I can't wait to get that power cord!!!

What a deal - I guess it was destined to be.

You were lucky!

the cabinet needs just a little tlc, and I'm waiting for the power cord I ordered, but I have another project going while I wait-refurbishing a 1949 featherweight. Will post pictures of her tomorrow. |
If you live in East TN, we never find bargins on any sewing machines so you're real lucky. Moosegirl

WOW! Nice find!
Have fun with her! |
Pretty!! The cabinet is a #40, but not the Queen Anne. (There are two #40's....one is Queen Anne, the other is yours) I'm looking for one of those! :)
