That is about the gist of the matter as far as my garage goes right now, but in the near future I am reclaiming it as soon as the sale is over. Let me explain, all I can do is barely walk through my garage because it is crammed full of things from estate sales, barns, farmhouses and other people's garages. What started out as a small resell business has grown into 2 storage units my garage and the she-shed. The front living room has about 50 antique sewing machines along with wall to wall countless antiquities of all kinds. I promise you that what does not sale the first weekend of this September 2020 "will" be donated to some charitable organization. Okay I am done venting, how are Y'all this Saturday morning? I am Sam and you are my new fam.

What shape are those antique sewing machines in? I’ve got a portable walking foot machine I’d to like to put in a antique base.

Shoot me an image of what you are looking for because I don't know squat about them except they would make good trotline weights. As soon as I figure out how to send a pic (really easy on TFF, just click an icon) I will shoot you a pic of the only one I could get to. There are more in one of the storage units.

Thanks 22george.

Something like this is kind of what I’m after.

Thanks nadogail, I once upon a time was in your part of the country. Once at the Naval Training Station and a year later onboard the USS John Paul Jones DDG 32. That was 40 years ago. Funny story, 15 years ago I asked the S.E.A.L. officer I was working with on a job about my old ship and its whereabouts and he informed me that is was in so many fathoms of water somewhere out in the pacific where they sank it during a firing exercise back in the day. It is too bad that us ol timers get put out to pasture or scuttled.

@txvwnut the pictures are not the best , the one shows the bottom sandwiched in between 2 pieces of artwork and an atomic lamp on the top of it.The four rounded corner drawer are not in it but I have them and they are in fair condition for their age. This was a piece that housed an old Minnesota brand machine. Too bad my baby brother was not on his way back from Possum Kingdom Lake, he could swing by and drop it off as he lives off of Harwood and 360. I don't get over

Your brother lives by me and my brother lives by you. Looks I need to make my way out when that sale goes down.

Small town. Small world. What's his name? I noticed you are into VWs and I have a friend from Calgary that worships VWs and owns a few. He has been in Saudi Arabia for the past few years running on a rig. His wife is supposed to move over there with him and I am not sure what he is gonna do with the cars. I would love to talk him down to a decent price on the '70 Judge he has in the garage too. Also wish I would have known somebody back in 2007 that could work on the 1.6 in a squareback wagon I had at the time. Sold it to a kid from Corpus Christi.
