Every once in a while I peruse EBay and Craigslist for Singer machines. I want the Singer 221, but the featherweight seems like a hot item which drives up the price. I saw a vintage machine on craigslist which was listed by a newish thrift store in a nearby town for $40, so I thought it wouldn't hurt to check it out. I had no model number to go off of, just a picture.
...and she came home with me!
Don't you live my backdrop of boxes? The cabinet is in great shape. Turns out she is a working Singer 99. It was from an estate sale. The seller told me it was open and in use around the time the owner passed. Just the kind of machine I was looking for.
I can't wait to try it out!
