Apparently this machine used to be Grandma's. Can anyone vouch for this? Karen used it as a entry table (see house listing photos) and never sewed with it, as far as I know.
I looked up the serial number: AJ665564 and did a little online research about vintage Singer sewing machines. Turns out this one was made in 1950 (64 years old, for those math-challenged). It's a Model 66 with a Filigree pattern. Thousands and thousands of these were made, so the value now isn't great. About $30-50 with the cabinet. It probably works, but I'm not about to plug it in because the cord is crackling and disintegrating. I'll make my hubby do it. LOL.
This ol' beauty would need a lot of restoration to get back into working order, assuming the motor works. But it must of worked for whomever used it last. There was still a spool of thread and bobbin threaded in the machine when I opened it.
The cabinet is missing some wood laminate (notice on front), although I think I have the pieces that need to get glued on. The top has some water damage, but that's what doilies are for, and boy did I bring back the doilies!! ...see Doily post, when/if it gets written.
Does anyone want the cabinet or sewing machine or both? Or does it go on the auction block?
