Oh, and my offer got turned down!

Nancy, Take a look at this CLs ad.
Doesn't this look like the same machine as the one you post up in Woodlawn/Sacramento area? Weird! This one is in the Bay Area, hercules,pinole.

Top two photos Bay Area
Bottom photo Sacramento

Just the difference is the cabinets and one machine still says W&W.

Maybe, the Woodland one picked her price because of the other one listed in the Bay Area! At least we know they are out there and if a bunch start showing up the prices will go down!

Oh, I LOVE that table!! But :cry: I don't have another inch of space in my sewing room. No, not even 1/2 inch!!! :cry:

Did you notice that the seller thinks a FW can be used with that table with just a bit of tweaking? :roll:

Sharon, I noticed what the ad said! I guess those sellers just think we are all pretty gullible!

Nancy

Problem is....I have an Elna Supermatic that I think probably would go in that table, and now I r e a l l y w a n t i t!!! WAHHHHH!!!

You going to bid on it?

I was thinking something that sounded delicate like Bettina or Franseca ?sic? short for a flower child from San Francisco back in the day....

So Glenn is she a pre 1900 machine? I have never seen a Singer with the Orange Blossom/Dogwood decal. Yes, of course you are right the VS2 was the precursor to the 27! What a great find!

Nancy

Yes Nancy she is somewhere between 1888 and 1890. Charlee found the age for me. She really sews nice.
