I went thrifting today and spotted a very disheveled folding-table sewing machine by "White", for $10. I had needed a sewing machine and a table to put my printer on, so I grabbed it. I assumed by the green color that it was something from the 70's, but after looking up the model number (#666), it appears to be from 1955. I need to buy a manual for it because I don't know a thing about sewing much less how this thing works.
I prefer the look of much older pre-war sewing machines, but I would guess that post-war machines are a bit more versatile? This one certainly has its fair share of knobs and levers. Also, it weighs a TON. I would love to know what kind of metal it was made from. Maybe cast iron? Would steel be that heavy?? Feels like it weighs 30 pounds!
