Its funny when I read that I thought you were telling Miriam to call the police about the poison IVY lol. I am thinking they cant do anything about that. I had to re read her post several times before I got it

Here's another 1917 (approx) National Sewing Machine Company machine badged for a retailer. It's a little rough, but what a beauty!! It looks just like my Western Electric badged National.

I don’t know where it goes. I think it is a 66 from 1926- #ab101576. The more I clean the more there is to clean. How do you get rid of the kerosene smell? Thanks so much.

I'd do it again in a heartbeat.

I am surprised at the FWs. Do the prices skyrocket at the end? Of course some aren't identified as FWs.

I immediately thought FW and asked to see the machine! Anyway, to make a long story short this is what I got for $125 - allotted on February 15, 1939, a FW with her card like table, her attachments, and the power cord/foot pedal. We have to replace the power cord. I was, and still am, really excited and guilty feeling because I didn't tell her what she had! I just gave her the $125, got the machine and table, thanked her, and left! I was not even trying to find another FW!

I posted her picture in the photo shop too! The machine behind the FW is my Singer 15-88 treadle.
