    such a sharp looking machine, I lean towards the matted look than the shinny machines. Truly unique looking, I'd try and repair the original finish. Can that be done? I like her. Think I have 2 with this type of finish, don't find them often.

    Purple...the same shade as the wha-cha-ma-thingie in the background of the picture! With paisley decals!
    That's my lawn chair... What about putting a red hat on the top piece?

    ~grin~ Make the old lady a "Red Hatter"? Sure!
    We could give everybody a spray can of different colors and make a clown.
    Nah...give the ol' girl SOME dignity! :lol:
    Spray paint from WM with my luck would rub off on a quilt - U R right, I should probably get her done up right so she doesn't soil anything - maybe DH would let her in the house - not that he would have THAT much say. I kind of like the old girl. She is waiting for a bobbin case I ordered.

    Does anybody know if you can FM with one of those? She sure turns fast. Then with the motor going you can't even see the needle. Maybe she should be painted up to look like a low sleek race car?

    HHHMMMM Purple with a red hat. I bet she needs a few flowers. She is butt ugly like she is don't you think?
    I don't think she is ugly at all, matter of fact, just more down to earth and no-nonsense. I bet it sews like it means it, and that counts more than looks to me. She might be pretty another color, but her lines are quite impressive to me the color she is.

    OMG!!! Glenn, she's GORGEOUS! Where did you find her? I love the stories that go with the finds and the machines.
    She came from an old man in Dallas who had shop for 40years and he made dresses for JC Penny. A friend gave it to him to display and decorate his shop. It was in his shop for a long time. He is 80 years old now and downsizing by selling off items from his shop.

    Was worth a 2 1/2 hour one way drive at $100. . .
    Wow, now people on CL are starting their own auctions. I'm sorry but FW are plentiful and always available. Bet you want to bonk "jesse" on the head with a large stick.
