Vintage Sewing Machine Find - Blue Love!

A quick stop at a local thrift store was a sheer stroke of luck if I do say so myself. I had looked around and did not find anything that caught my eye until I turned to leave. There on a lower shelf was a closed case with a pink tag that said vintage machine....$15.00.

Now, I started to just keep on walking out the door, but I happen to know that this particular thrift store does not sell anything that does not work, so I knew it must at least turn on. When I opened the case....this is what I saw.... Oh. Be. Still. My Heart. She is a beauty!


A quick couple of head turns to the right and then the left to insure no one had seen the treasure I had just unearthed, I walked, no practically ran to the counter with my $15.00.

Once I got this jewel home, I was totally gushing when I plugged her in and stepped on the foot pedal. She purrs like a newborn kitten. So magnificently strong, yet quiet as can be. I can not wait to find the manual online, as it did not come with one and I can not wait to see how she actually sews. The parts all move with such precision and ease it is hard to believe this one has been sitting for very long. The case did not even have a musty smell, and that is one thing that I can't stand, is that musty smell. This machine has none of that....she has absolutely made my heart sing today!!

I can't help but be ecstatic about this find!! I'd have to say the bargain of the month for sure! I'd also like to clarify I am not collecting sewing machines. Nope, I am not. 

 She needs a name....do I hear any suggestions??
