 This is my gran's ancient sewing machine. I honestly don't know when she got it but it has be a long time ago.. I don't think I completely captured how pretty some bits of it are.. and I couldn't get it out to better light.. it doesn't look it but it weighs a ton so I couldn't compose AT ALL

Oh what a gorgeous piece of machinery! People will pay top dollar for those lovely old machines here. And yes, they do indeed weigh a ton.

to if you had added some buttons, more thread, darner, pin cushion, measuring tape...etc. to make a "display" of old time sewing things this would have a whole lot more interest to me...I will say you have a beautiful Singer sewing machine...nice detail on the arm
