At the first garage sale I bought this box for $10.
I was jumping up and down excited about the contents of the $10 box. I nearly wet myself and thought I might faint. I thought surely there's a zero missing from that price. Nope. $10 it was. I asked the girl if it worked and she said yes and demonstrated. I paid the sweet girl $10 and scurried to the pickup with my box, all the while hoping she wasn't chasing after me saying it was all a mistake.
Packed inside the box is a nearly pristine 1955 Singer Featherweight, model 221. It includes all of the original attachments plus a few extras, the instruction manual, the bobbin case and bobbin (very important), the foot control/power cord, and the key to lock the box.
I'm still so excited I can hardly stand myself.

Wow, you lucky girl! That is one nice machine. I learned to sew on a machine just like that! It brings back such good memories!

What a great find! Somebody definitely didn't know what they hand.
Are you Irish???? You have all the luck!!! And how cool that your hubby goes garage saleing with you! I can't get anyone to go with me, hence, I don't go.
