I need to "thin the heard" a little, so I'm putting one of my many antique Singer Sewing Machines up for sale.  This one is a model 127 built in 1913.  It was rough when Joy bought it, but we've whipped it back into shape.  I replaced the oak veneer on the table top surface (it had been peeled off when we got it) but it was my first attempt at veneer.  I think I used too much glue and I didn't get it completely flat in places, but it's 1000 times better than the 100 year old plywood that was showing before.  The top surface of the leaf that flips over when you open the machine was also missing the veneer, but it had solid oak boards for the core so I just sanded them a little and didn't attempt to put new veneer down.  It looks like someone had tried to strip the finish on one side of the cabinet.  I could not get all the finishes to match exactly . . . but again, it looks great compaired to where it was.

I've cleaned up, oiled and adjusted the machine and treadle base, installed a new belt, new needle and new bobbin winder tire . . . and it runs like a new sewing macjhine.  It's ready for another century of sewing.  Best of all, it's "GREEN!"  Not the color, it doesn't need electricity.

I'm asking $125 or best offer.  If you can't come get it, I can probably deliver it.  Don't have cash? No problem . . . what do you have to trade?

KC, I've had it on craigslist for almost a month.  Got a couple of bites and ton of scammers, but it's still sitt'n here.  And there's more where that came from . . . I've got three more Singers and one White treadle machines, plus two Singer electrics and the Singer industrial machine . . . plus an extra Singer treadle base that I wire brushed and painted with Rustolium rust converter and topcoated with Rustolium gloss black and then highlighted the Singer logos with antique gold.  And I've got a couple of oak "puzzle boxes" full of attachments and a bunch of loose attachments.  And a spare pair of Singer treadle legs and the wood to make table top . . . someday I'll get that done.

I know what you're thinking, but I'm not a hoarder, just not a good business person!  I did sell a New Home treadle machine I had a few months back . . . and I made money on it!  Problem is, that encouraged me to reinvest the profit in inventory that I can't seem to move!  But that's OK . . . I enjoy tinkering with them.  I just need to get this one out of the way so I'll have room to bring another one home.  OK, maybe I am a hoarder.
