This little gem came home with me Tuesday. It belonged to my boss' mother and they needed to find a new home for it. And they thought of me! As far as I can tell, it's a Singer 15-88 built March 8, 1956. It may have originally been a treadle machine later converted with an electric motor. She looks to be in beautiful condition, but needs a deep cleaning.
The cabinet is a total writeoff, however, due to termites. There was no saving it (my husband wouldn't even let me bring it in the house!) I really liked that middle tilt-out drawer, tho.
If I can get her cleaned up and see how she runs, I may have Scott eventually build a base enclosure for it and get a foot pedal.
Tuesday was my lucky day, wasn't it?
