<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Ladybranch, post: 79822, member: 44&quot;]After seeing Shangas sewing machine posting this morning, I thought I&#039;d toss up my mother&#039;s earliest sewing machine for ideas of what to do with it. It is a 1939-1941 National Reverse-w portable sewing machine with a black case. DH says it would make a fine boat anchor. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/frown.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":(" unselectable="on" /> I just don&#039;t want to dump it. I really don&#039;t think it is of much value and its weight would probably make shipping cost higher than it&#039;s value. It isn&#039;t as ornate as Shangas&#039;, but it isn&#039;t rusted and probably stills works. The cord is too worn for me to even want to plug it up. The cord covering has melted severely in places because it was stored in an attic here in the South for 3 to 4 decades. The case has a tear and has come apart at one of the corners from the attic heat.</p><p><br /></p><p>I did up a webpage about it back in 2013 in hopes of someday donating it somewhere. I had forgotten about the webpage still being up until I read Shangas posting. Here is a link to the page that has pics and description.</p><p><a href="http://home.earthlink.net/~filearchives/nsmco/ReversewRUSA.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://home.earthlink.net/~filearchives/nsmco/ReversewRUSA.html" rel="nofollow">http://home.earthlink.net/~filearchives/nsmco/ReversewRUSA.html</a></p><p><br /></p><p>Do feel free to suggest anything that doesn&#039;t cost me any money. Also if you side with DH on an anchor say so, but duck before I bop you on the head or &quot;slap you silly.&quot; I know some will suggest local Craig&#039;s list, which is probably the best way to go, but as most of you know I don&#039;t sell. Of course if someone wants to fly down here or over here to pick it up I&#039;ll gladly give you room and board for a night.</p><p><br /></p><p>--- Susan</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]20357[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
