I admit it. I was in a hurry. Mom and I had gone out to run some errands on Saturday. It was cold and there was snow in the air. We were both hungry. I wanted to get Mom back before she got too tired. I snapped these photos with my phone quickly before I put her car back in the garage. The 201K is still there, in the trunk. When I return in two weeks I will fetch it and bring it home. I would love to tinker with it while I am there but I think I will be quite busy. Just the same, maybe I will take along a tool kit.
I was fairly certain that I was chasing down a 201K. Just the same, I had a dream Thursday night that it was really a 66 and I had to buy it anyway because I told the seller to save it for me.
And look ! It is a Centennial!
The machine is not great cosmetically. I don't really care. I have my 201K and now all that's left on the wish list is a Bernina. I am sure I can get one, for a price. But what fun would that be?
...and which particular Bernina would that be?
ReplyDeleteI have no idea. I guess I will know when I see it. Not an electronic model, though. Maybe an 830?
DeleteIs there any difference between a machine made in 1951 (centennial year) and those made in other years - other than it has a centennial medallion on it? Do all Singer machines made in 1951 have extra value because of the medallion?
ReplyDeleteI think it was marketing hype. I don't know if there is added value because of the centennial medallion. Some folks want centennials.
DeleteNo difference, though, all 201-2s are the same. As are all 201-3s I guess.
