Mine is not as old as the above pics. But I LOVE it. It is from 1962. Please let me know if this is not old enough for your vintage group. I sew with it and I would like tips on caring for a vintage machine. My Pfaff is in a sewing cabinet. This image is just from the internet. It is a wonderful machine and can sew through six layers of heavy denim like butter. It can also sew through leather. [ATTACH=CONFIG]517859[/ATTACH]
I really love this photo from the instruction manual! I know we all sew in high heels!!!

It is old enough and a great machine too. All you have to do is ask. There are some great and informed people here that can help you with just about any question you can have about a vintage machine. Even the really old antique machines. You just met, who I hold in the highest regard as thee authority on the really old ones, SteveH.

Actually, I am one of those barefoot quilters.
Welcome. You should love it here and especially the Vintage Machine section. I have learned sew much.

I have posted pics of both my girls in other threads, but figured I'd put them in the same post here. First in line is my very own Iron Lady, "Minnie". She's a Minnesota Model D (model number D1699105) vibrating shuttle machine. I found her sitting all alone in our local Peddler's Mall. Got a good deal on her (at least I think I did; I paid $75 for her). Got her cleaned up and she sews like a champ. Now I just have to get used to using a treadle machine. You would think that since I spin on a single treadle spinning wheel that I could get the hang of it pretty quickly. Guess it requires more practice!

The second is my Kenmore "Lucy". She's named after the lady that bought her originally. Sadly, I never knew this lady. A friend of ours bought her at an estate auction and used her as an end table in his sunroom. I was looking for a sewing machine and he gave her to me. Her model number is 158.13570 and her serial number is 0014277. She has a table that I am seriously considering refinishing, but haven't decided yet.
