We purchased old Singer complete with the original tools that came with it, an instruction booklet and the bill of sale. I would never take the machine out just to make something else out of it. I do have some décor sitting on top of it, but it is in it’s original state.
those old machines were good. They could be serviced and used again once serviced. These new machines are just tossed aside and replaced with new machines.
I’d much rather have a old machine.
These old machines are still wonderful and can be used in third world countries where electricity is limited or non-existent. Women in these countries are learning to sew on them and are supporting their families.
I would love to have an old Singer treadle machine or even just an old machine table.
I just don’t understand why anyone would rather do something like this as opposed to keeping and restoring the antique Sewing Machine. I have the old singer machine in the cabinet and I will cherish til my dying day. I hope my children will do the same once I’m gone.
I have an old cabinet,electric machine, some spare parts and manual if anyone is interested. Im in Rochester NY. It’s currently being used as an entry way desk, but appears to be original stain finish
Look up Gary’s Tractors ( Weberville Michigan)
On facebook for the BEST recycle/up cycle of old metal sewing machines into unique Tractors. I ordered a custom one from him to display in my sewing shoppe. (Pics on my page ) http://www.facebook.com/katscustomsewing
my old table fits the new JENGA game perfectly and is heavy duty enough to handle it!
These are cabinets. What happened to the machines? A shame that old relics are not respected, merely cast off.
