Posted - Mar 11 2018 : 5:10:49 PM So,,, Quiltee and I were gabbing up a fest the other day, yacking about this & that.. her junktiquing scores and about sewing machines... Well,,, not to be out done by her.. lolol! Here is what I found, yesterday and for a mere $2.50....
![](http://www.maryjanesfarm.org/Snitz/Images/2018/03/DSCF6403.jpg?v 73251500) this is just awesome,,, and I can hardly wait to make a table runner with it.
![](http://www.maryjanesfarm.org/Snitz/Images/2018/03/DSCF6406.jpg?v 98814579) and this sweet lil crochet doillie for just .25 cents.
![](http://www.maryjanesfarm.org/Snitz/Images/2018/03/DSCF6408.jpg?v 50889228) oh and I found this crochet apron with only 1 tie,, I wonder if there was a button on the other end for the tie to attach to.
![](http://www.maryjanesfarm.org/Snitz/Images/2018/03/DSCF6416.jpg?v 43993712) the colors are a bit pale in this photo.

and as for sewing machines,, I had to go rooting around in the garage to find this one..
![](http://www.maryjanesfarm.org/Snitz/Images/2018/03/DSCF6418.jpg?v 78433882) it's a Western Electric (1918-1941) probably made by the National Sewing Machine Company..
![](http://www.maryjanesfarm.org/Snitz/Images/2018/03/DSCF6421.jpg?v 88927378) it was a combo electric/rotary , called a "Long Shuttle' because similar to the Singer Red Eyes,, it uses a 'shuttle' type bobbin. Gotta luv vtg. sewing machines... I had fun junktiquing... now it's time to go make dinner..![](icons/icon_smile.gif)

Posted - Mar 12 2018 : 07:27:26 AM Grace those are awesome finds. Love the runner top. What a great apron! I had two crocheted. a blue and white one and a rainbow color and white. I gave the rainbow and white one to a farmgirl in a swap a while back.
So nice when you can find them. Mine were in mint condition so I don't know how old they were.
I have a treadle that has a shuttle bobbin and I have yet to use it. I've had it for quite a few years now. I had an offer for someone to buy it but passed on it.

Posted - Mar 11 2018 : 8:58:12 PM OK, just figured it out,,, my crappy camera caused the orange to pale out, so much so that it looked white in the photo... oh Duh!

Posted - Mar 11 2018 : 7:06:06 PM I love your junktiquing finds, Grace. I have 3 crocheted aprons - red/white, purple/white and pink/white. They do not have a pocket and have both ties. I love them - and hang them on the wall. Love your sewing machine.
