Here are three treasures just waiting to be sold at next Fridays sale.
Opening up the lid on the black box, I discovered a sewing machine inside.
Tattered and falling apart was the original instruction manual.
A Hoyt's machine oil bottle was tucked inside the sewing box.
What fun to find it hiding inside the black case, and it is in excellent condition.
The next case had a damaged bottom but held a machine that had fabulous detailing on it.
The medal on the front reads, The Singer Manfg. Co.- A Century of Progress 1933.
This sewing machine came inside a sewing table and is pretty unattractive. I have never seen this brand name before and the matte brown finish is very different from the Singer machines.
This machine uses a knee press, while the Singers have a foot pedal.
Boxes and boxes of smalls are stacked inside the garage waiting to be unpacked. I can't wait to see what items will be unveiled.
My mother's mother had a singer sewing machine with a treadle in a beautiful wooden table. My cousin kept giving me a guilt trip that she never got anything from the family so I gave her that machine. She had no idea the value and turned around and sold it. I could kick myself for giving it to her.
ReplyDeleteAmazing treasures, someone will love them Paulette.
ReplyDeleteOh Paulette, if only I lived nearby and had a large enough house, I would rescue so many of those treasures and love them again. I now have 3 old Singer machines; one was a gift from K and A, and I've rescued 2 very old treadle machines. I love them!
ReplyDeleteWe had a sewing machine like the brown one but it was a grey matte finish. Those are beautiful machines, fun stuff!
