He has an extremely rare autoimmune disease. It is fatal if left untreated but he's going to go through the treatment which are for his lifetime. Treatment involves massive doses of massive milligrams of steroids and a drug that also haas gold as one of the ingredients - nope, not kidding. He is hopeful that eventually all will be better. I'll get the other site for you. http://www.quiltingboard.com/t-28727-90.htm#4195030

Chris, Thanks for the update on Billy!

You're welcome. His latest update is about 2-3 pages from the very end of the blog/health update.

I'd get it if I were there. I have no idea about value in your neck of the woods, but it looks reasonable in mine.

I'm meeting her at one - unless it looks like there's a big problem I'm going to own a baby Singer!

Hope everyone is having a GREAT week, see you soon!! :)

Also the Davis company made some - it is shaped like a Minnesota,too. (Found this one on etsy - didnt know they had machines so cheap!0

http://www.etsy.com/listing/77938421...ewing?ref=sc_1

This machine (Anamarie 's posting) is different from the Minnesota. If you look at the top left were the arm (the long horizontal part of the machine) comes into the area of the needle bar area you will see the shape is different.

I can't see all of Nancy's machine, pictured 665, a New Home No.3, but it looks like her machine has this shape.

Thanks Nancy, I was leaning towards a New Home last night after looking through ThayerRags site. I saw one that looked almost like this machine. It looks like a New Home.

Anamarie,

Cute machine! So, Do we call the decals Art Deco; if so, then it makes it easier to find a machine similar in shape. Still don't know who manufactured the machine. I was able to find an Apartment Electric.

Hopeful someone else will come to the rescue.

So, top machine is the one you posted.
Bottom machine is the one I found.

Wow, Monica, those 2 look nearly identical!! I think you're right about it being a sister to your Apartment.
