Calling Vintage Sewing Machine fans!

[SoupDragon]

I know you're out there! I think of you every time I visit my favourite house clearance shop and keep meaning to take pictures... so this time I did.

Here we have offering no. 1. Which the serial number seems to imply is rather old. It has a lovely domed wooden case. Just beautiful but I can't really justify buying it!

Ohh its beautiful. Mine is a 1912 99k with the bentwood case. I love it and it sews beautifully! I found it for £15!

I have a 27K handcrank. Named Cleo. She is beautiful. I have a new Janome too for the fancy stuff (buttonholes, zig zags) but for straight stitch it's the Singer all the way!

Today's new arrival appears to be 1921 going by the serial number.

Yes, those 1920s onwards ones get a bit functional looking.

There is still something attractive about the sleek black lines though. I think the bit I dont like is the flat silver end where the needle is. It ruins the sleekness
