Thank you for sharing pics. Your Ruby is a beauty, too. I've not seen that one before.

Oops, my mistake on Elsie's 66... Glenn is right. The records do show it's a 66 made in 1916. (I skipped a digit!) Can't blame Singer this time! :oops:

I am glad to know that I am not the only one who has trouble reading numbers. If I could remember where my specs are half the time I would have no problem :lol: Glenn

It's sort of like when you find a stray dog and you open your car door in they jump right in :mrgreen:

Elsie, both your machines are gorgeous. The Ruby is perfectly named and the Lotus is very pretty.
FarmStitcher, the Ruby that goosepoint bought and I may buy tomorrow are not badged machines. They are New Home (Janome's predecessor). Ruby is the model name. You don't have to guess on that one - she wears it proudly. Without Billy, I'd never know what my 128's name. She was just a little black Singer machine with a serial number.
I am getting excited about my grandson's wedding, but also about seeing my possible machine. I have enlisted a SIL to go with me to help load her.

Haven't a clue as to its value, if parts are available, etc. He wants $100.00, but we could probably get it for a little less, since we'd drive 1 1/2 hrs to pick it up & the cabinet is worn. I'm hesitant because wonder if I could find parts. Any suggestions will be much appreciated. Here's the link :

and another possibility: 2) Vesta, again, a name I don't know, for $90.00. Anyone have info to help me decide? Thanks.

I found someone to transport it up 7 to 8 hrs away, for $25.00. What do you think?
