I've been sewing for many many years but collecting machines only since 2016. I try to be selective due to space. I have 40ish machines, only 2 are duplicates, 15 have tables. I got rid of my modern machine several years ago once I realized it was literally collecting dust.?
I have a 1909 Singer 9W treadle (bagel bobbin with W&W serial number), an 1872 W&W #3, head only, that had been parted out before I got it, and an 1869 #3 compete in table.
I'm focusing more on portables atm due to space, but I can fit in a few more tables if needs arise. I can't say no to some!
I'm going on a road trip soon. I'll be picking up a few portables that are waiting for me in a couple different states. Who knows what else I may find along the way?

But if you feel like introducing yourself, and as importantly, a machine
or two, I'll bet no one here would mind!? It's not like we're suffering
from too much traffic.? :-) :-/? And we all like looking at pictures.
