I found this old sewing machine at a yard sale. The guy said he had it for 20 years and kept his TV on it. So, off it went into the bed of the pickup truck! When we got it home we noticed fabric still under the presser foot, the drawers still had notions in it and the New Home box was still there with all the "stuff" it came with. It appears to have two newspaper heart templates and the date on it is Oct. 1966. It was almost like she just got up and just walked away. It can use a little love, but it was just so amazing to go through the drawers and see all the old 15 cent thread and stuff--I cant help but think that there is probably a lady looking down from heaven and glad that it isn't a TV stand anymore. So, now what??? Anyone know anything about it?? How old ect. I will clean it up and try to get it working. Oh, and I paid $10 for it.

WOW! Have you cleaned off the machine yet? I was at a website mentioned on the Rav Vintage Machines thread and she had pictures of cleaning these machines up with what she uses...
Gorgeous!
