Don't throw it away. Offer it on the board for free plus shipping. I am sure someone will want her.

Or just use it to decorate your sewing room. Many have vintage machines that they do not use, but the machines are sitting on shelves with their books and fabrics. I love that look, along with the mini quilts on the walls. I have a couple of machines on my bookcases. Some need new parts to get them running, but I'm not interested in spending the money for that at this moment in time.

Fabric Whisperer,
Can I ask what the creature sitting on your scissors is? I'd vote for most unusual pet found in a sewing room that I've seen so far! Helomonster?? Please educate me - it's always amazing to me what I can learn here in the shop!

As someone else said, you'll have plenty of takers if you just list it for free in Classifieds on this site. But PLEASE don't toss it.

I was making pet blankies that day, and he came to investigate my "stuff" -- the picture was just too precious to pass up

Don't know how to date the machine Nancy do you have any idea how to look it up. Both machines took right off sewing. The belt is broke on the VD but I tried it out just turning the wheel by hand. They are really dirty but I think will clean up nicely.
I am so envious that your Davis worked right away! I do have the correct needles now -- managed to finally get a few tubes, but still have the wrong shuttles (I think).
Is your pitman wood? I will go look at my Davis serial number today. Mine in between 1886 and 1890. What a lucky find you got with both machines! I also love my Redeye!

Oh and Trish, my Davis is posted on page 474 if you want to compare the two machines to see the differences?

After an hour of free-roaming, I usually find them under the leg of my Grace quiltframe ... FAST asleep!
