As promised, here are some pics of my new find. I think she's beautiful even though she needs a good cleaning! I haven't figured out how to do that without harming the gold on her yet, but I will.
I need help naming her, so I'm gonna run a contest! It'll run until May 1st and I'm asking everyone to help me name my machine! I'll let hubby draw a name from a hat on May 1st and the winning name will win a goodie box filled with all sorts of different things from me!
So - On with the contest and Good Luck to everyone!

What a great find! My husbands grandfather had bought me this exact sewing machine in a table about 10 years ago. It still had the little sewing box and owners manuel with it. It is such a treasure.
Sorry though that I am brain dead right now, and have no suggestions for a name.
What a great find! I love the old machines. They're practically indestructible.
I think an old machine should have an old name (my opinion). The first one that came to mind was Mabel.
I'm thinking Sallee Singer. :o}
Sherone
Esther came to mind...a good old fashioned, hard working gal!
Betsy , but she likes to be called "Bets" . LOL
How about Hazel Singer...My Great Aunt and mom collect these and have/had them all over the house when I was growing up, Now that my Aunt is gone Mom has all of hers.
Hey Tammy, can you put more than one name in? I mean, can you enter more than once? I'm usually a ham with names and I thought I might try for more than one.
Anyway, I guess mine is:
Miss Goldie Treadwell
(well, she's got gold trim, and she's descended from the treadle type sewing machines, right?)
Bessie. :-)
Well since she is after all a "SINGER" shouldn't she be named Melody??? I know, cheesy huh? I just couldn't help myself : )
what a beauty!!!!! she is so pretty. It is just like the one my granny sewed on. hhm ?? name ??how about Maria from sound of music
What a great find...
as for a name, how's about "Molly" Machine...Molly the Dolly sewing machine.....ok, kinda goofy, but Molly is the first thing that poped into my head when I saw it..."Molly" sounds so pioneer womanish,,,strong & takes care of business yet still ever so feminan...& we know that our pioneer forrunners were the mainsaty of the family.
Enjoy your wonderful machine & have fun giving her that special name.
hugz,
>^..^<
Tammy I LOVE your sewing machine! It is a beauty!!! I like katmoms suggestion "Molly"! Kinda cute! Hugs, Maryjane
HI Tammy,
Sounds like a fun contest. Who doesn't like a surprise box?? Well I know I do.
My pick for a name is
MATERIAL GIRL.
Or Nancy Jo what ever you thing.
NANCY JO
Hum a name: Busy Betty
I love that machine!!!
Since she is a beauty, how about Princess Sindi Singer Sewer?
She is a beauty. It reminds me of a sewing machine my Mother sewed on when I was a child.
