My daughter has just inherited a manual singer but it has not been used for over 25 years, I am itching to have a go with it, hoping she will let me have a play as she is not interested in using it, thinks it would look quite nice on display! I think she thinks it is worth a bit of money but when I had a look it had the modern round bobin case so not an antique.margarethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14225676137708827434noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6579865805572494744.post-57802120798047160752013-10-16T12:12:15.418-04:002013-10-16T12:12:15.418-04:00Oh I love my "old girls", they are just ...Oh I love my "old girls", they are just the best machines!
