Rescued Treasure – Treasured Vintage Singer Sewing Machine

My pal and fellow skipraider, Cecil, rescued this lovely vintage Singer sewing machine from a skip (dumpster) It is very old but in perfect working order and whoever had it took great care of it.

With it came: the original instruction book, all the attachments in original box, even the tube of oil in its box, the key to lock the wooden dome cover and even the packers slip!

Some woman treasured this for years but when she passed on it ended up in a skip. What a shame and what a waste!

It did show signs of having had a touch of woodworm (treated)  I will add a new electric motor and foot pedal and use it in the cottage. It will look lovely on the Singer sewing machine table that I rescued and restored earlier. (See picture above top left) I will think of that careful lady owner every time I use it.

Thank you Cecil for seeing this and thinking of me. You know I would not have passed it!

Hi Sweetie, oh my who would throw away something so beautiful as that, I'm glad someone at the thought of rescuing it, and now it's in good hand right, thank you for visiting me, and yes it is very sad that I have to sell but that's ok onto big and better things.

Hugs
Kirstie.

Oh-My-Heck! What a truly fabulous find! Lucky you and lucky Singer Sewing Machine to be rescued by someone who will love it as much as it's original owner.
This is really a great find - if only it could talk- the tales it would tell?!
