I live in a small town that has antique shops and wineries. Once a year the town has "Trash to Treasures". This flea market takes over the town with booths filled with antiques for sale. Joe and I walked our dogs through town as usual, but stopped to look in some of the booths.
To my surprise there was a sewing machine in one of the booths. I thought it was a Singer 127. It was truly in excellent shape. Even the bentwood top was in great shape. It had the knee control, oil can, and miscellaneous attachments. I figured it would be expensive, but when I saw the $25 price I bought it. The woman selling it didn't know any history on it.
It wasn't until I got home with it and researched the serial number, I found it was in fact a 128. Which is a 3/4 sized 127. I also found it was built in 1924.
It only had one bobbin, so I am sure to order some extras.
