Guess What I Have?

[Bill]

A treadle 201k! As far as I can make out, 1935.

She needs a bit of a polish and I've not sewn anything as yet, but I have had her running and she runs beautifully.
The cabinet also in need of a spruce is in near perfect condition. There's a lovely smell of old wood in the drawers 
I'll be spending a few days very carefully cleaning it all up and then I'll try some stitching on it. As you can see, it's all in pretty damn good condition.
I can't say it enough, to the TSP member who passed it and another oldish singer onto me, thankyou from the bottom of my heart. You're a diamond 
Can't wait!

That is a thing of beauty, @Bill. Two things of beauty, in fact - both the machine and the kindness of that TSPer

[Diane]

That's a beauty @Bill I'd enjoy sprucing it up without even doing any sewing 

[Silver Rose]

How wonderfully kind @Bill, what a beauty.

[mudcat]

That's pretty cool @Bill 

Kudos to whoever gave it to you.

[Bill]

If ever I get the ok to do so, I'll happily spill the beans. But until then, you all can keep wondering  x

Fabulous!!  Someone has been so very kind!

It looks lovely, hope you enjoy sewing with it 

[Celia]

@Bill it really is a beauty, I hope you enjoy it,  it was incredibly kind of someone to give it to you.

And a  to whoever it was who gave it to you.

@Bill you are one lucky boy - enjoy x

@Bill  Have fun learning to “drive” it. Did it come with all the feet/attachments you are likely to need? If not, let me know as I have a variety of Singer bits and pieces that I have picked up over the years and may have some duplicates.

I am green with envy!  Lucky you 

[Bodgeitandscarper]

Out of interest, what is the other machine you got @Bill ?

It's a singer 9612. 1985 I think.
