I've inherited a treasure! We had a visit from my parents last weekend and they arrived with my grandmother's treadle singer sewing machine! I checked out the serial number - it's a model 127, built in 1917! It's been floating around the family since my grandfather passed away about 30 years ago and my dad mentioned to my aunt (the most recent caretaker) that if she didn't want to keep it, he knew someone who would love to have it - Me!
So, he took it home from her garage and cleaned it up, got all the parts moving again and fixed up the wobbly bits of the cabinet. I even have a new belt for it - and guess what? It works!!! Thank you Daddy!!!
Ooh lucky you!
