50's dressmaker

Ok. I'ma nerd. LOL

I LOVE OLD SEWING MACHINES!!

This one is such a beauty!! Oh... and she weighs a ton! But talk about SMOOOOTTTHHH! whoo! they just don't make them like they used to!! :( I desperately want to get this working and use it solely for quilting. I've cleaned her up, given her a little oil on her old joints and she just purrs! Now i just have to find a little round geared doohickey that goes under neath the feeddogs. That piece looks like it was make of bake lite and has since disintegrated. Hoping to find a plastic or metal piece to replace it with, and then i'm in business!! woohoo! Psst.. check out her lines! Doesn't she remind you of a 57 chevy with the fins? :D
