Shopping day!
Work-friend and I went yarn shopping today. I bought WAAAAAAY too much. Yarn for projects (mostly, there were a few YES!!! and they were sock yarns, so they will get knitted up one day), some sock needles, and cat stitch markers.
We also went to the antique mall, where I walked away with 2 sewing machines D:
This one is a currently non-working Singer 115. It's serial number puts its manufacture date as January 1919. It definitely belongs in a treadle table:
And this one is a Seamstress sold by Eaton's prior to 1925:
I found images in Eaton's catalogs that matched this; 1917 and 1921 were practically identical. 1925 was an electric model. This one's tag said it was purchased in 1924 and converted to electric. The electrics don't match the catalog images.
Now to find a few things to sell and make up the money I spent D: (such a fun day though)
