Kat Wiese donation of AWESOMENESS

Ok, in the interest of full disclosure, I am just going to come right out and tell you that this is my absolute favorite donation.  Mostly because I want it for myself :)  My extremely generous friend, Kat Wiese has donated this beauty...but "what is it?" you ask?

well, it comes in this completely normal looking box (complete with 2 locks...and the keys that match!)

nothing too impressive, right? But what's this when you open it? A tray containing a Singer instruction manual (the most recent copyright date in the manual is 1947 FYI) for a model 221-1, a very old tube of Singer motor lubricant, and various bobbins and sewing machine feet.

...and then, you lift out the tray, and this gorgeous piece of history resides inside.  The best part? It still runs. No, scratch that. it doesn't run. it PURRS. It even still has the matching Singer pedal!



In case you can't tell, this one really has me wishing I had money to spare hahaha.
Thanks, Kat! 
This thing is truely incredible, and I really hope it finds a home with someone who truely appreciates its beauty and keeps it in its current pristine condition!
