    I went to an army surplus store to get some winter garb. They had this behind the counter. They repair pack straps and other webbing with it. They love it. I love how it shows its age. It is a potted 15

    It is amazing where one might find a sewing machine! Is that a turtle sticker?

    Default Singer 15-125

    We found this one at an estate sale on our way out of town. I had never seen a green Singer so I decided I needed that to add to my collection. We paid $34 for it with case.

    Yours looks very nice, Blackberry. For some reason the green ones I have found tend to be dirtier than the black ones.

    Great price, too

    Dirt shows better on light green. That was the first thing that popped into my head. I really enjoy cleaning these old singers.
