Topic: Hi, anyone else here who collects old sewing machines??

Yeah, not the most convient thing to collect!!! They tend to be heavy and take up lots of space, but the common joke is--we could collect old refrigerators instead!!! Or in addition!!! Can't ya just see it, walk into a livingroom lined with old 'friges, and open the friges and there are old sewing machines inside, perfectly stored for quick display in a dust free environment?? LOL

There was a segment on one of thos collecting shows about a man who collected vacuums, so?
Seriously, I have sold a few old sewing machines, so you are not alone!

I'm glad my mom and I aren't the only ones. I'm more controlled than she is about them and only have 5-6. She probably has 20-30 at any given time. She repairs them and either sells them or gives them to people who need a sewing machine. My joke is if she put her name on them almost everyone in KY would have her name in their house.
I like the fridge and machine combo. What a perfect mix.

I only have one old one anymore, but I am always tempted when I see them at sales.

I bought an old Sears-Kenmore sewing machine at a garage sale...I guess it is old. What is the definition of old? It had the owners manual with it but I could not find a date ANYWHERE! The owners manual is from Sears Roebuck and co and Simpsons-Sears Limited. Anyway, it is in very nice wood cabinet. It is electric. I could take a picture of if anyone is interested.
So I guess my answer to your question is--yes, accidentally.
Thanks, Sherri
