Hubby and I were at the Sally Ann last night.
It was 25% off for seniors (anyone over 55).
You'll never guess what I happened to find.
I am always on the look out for vintage sewing machines.
It seems most of the ones at the SA are in pretty rough shape and not usually Singers.
I found a Model 66-16 Singer in a cabinet!!
I was so thrilled.
I have divested myself of three vintage machines to dae.
(to the vintage sewing machine man in Munith).
Hubby said to go for it. So I bought her and now she is mine!!!
Here are some photos I took in the store.
She needs a foot pedal and power cord but those are easily obtained.
Also a little TLC, but she is a beauty!!!
Made in 1952.
Have a great Thursday!!

Did you get rid of your Spartan?
you know who else was made in 1952, don'cha?!? and needs a little TLC?!? coincidence?!? ha ha ha!!!
I have one of those, that is the one I like to FMQ on.
love my old Singers from a green 50's one to a Featherweight to my mother-in-law's square black 301A... there's another up in the attic in a wooden bent wood case that I don't use. Lucky for me that I have someone ( usually my husband) who can keep them in tip top running condition. He has downloaded all sorts of manuals from the Singer site which he keeps in a folder for when he has a question.
My fancy Bernina is for fancy stuff ... not bears or quilting!!
Looks good. Did you name her?
wonderful find,congrats
