Gentles all, I visited the local equivalent of a US "thrift Shop" two Friday's back, and came away with 2 in-table-mounted "Singer Stylist Model 457's" for £10GB each, and a clean and well-cared-for Singer Model 66K [ circa 1906-1920] hand-cranked, table-top machine, [the one with the lovely "Lotus" decals] - thrown in, for free. The local Sewing Machine Engineer is servicing them for me now. Both the "Stylists" came with original User manuals, and a full complement of accessories - various types of feet, spare bobbins, spare needles, original tools and oil bottles. These will be kept for use by novice re-enactors who wish to join either our established Companie of the Duke's Leopards, or the SCA-group we are trying to start in our little Isle - to make their own garb and equipment, and/ or tents. In Service to the Light, and our Dream, Matthew, in "old" Jersey.
