How sad is it that I had her serial number memorized in less than 15 minutes of seeing her?

My story and it's true l followed an ad in the local paper when l got there it was son selling his mothers machines he asked me if l was going to use it or have it on show i said use it so he let me go and look to cut a long story short l bought it, the treadle, then he asked me if l was interested in these other machines so l bout the other five as well not treadles and they all work so thats how l started my little collection. l bought Ruby the day before in a second hand shop as l fell in love with her. l will now try to post more pictures for your interest

Laura and Elsie, you both have beautiful Lotus machines! Elsie, all Lotus decaled machines were 66's.
Kathie, I find Liquid Gold at Lowes, but you won't need any for a while! I use that stuff on my kitchen cabinets, my treadle cabinets, my machines to shine them -- everywhere!
Weedwoman, I would think I had died and gone to heaven if I found a Model 24 like that -- green cabinet and all! It is in great shape!
Tomilu can we see what the Pfaff 230 looks like? I've not been that lucky to find a 201 for nothing!
Sewbizgirl, I know you found the slide plate, but in the future if you are missing something like that Billy usually carries them.
Elsie can I be the heir to that Victor DeLux? Geeze, that machine is pretty! But, the one parlor cabinet - what is in that cabinet? That looks like my friend's cabinet, really looks a lot like my cabinet too -- and we have Free's in that cabinet.

Sorry to hear about GF - that is very young for a heart attack!

I tell you what there are some really nice machines coming out here lately! Looks like I might have to go "Down Under" to find my 201K! :P That was a haul and a half!!!!
Hopefully in a week or so I can work on some of mine I still have a few I need to list on here to sell but I still have customers in line to be worked on.
