Vintage Singer Sewing Machine (Barrow upon Soar LE12)
Gifted
Vintage Singer electric sewing machine in carry box. It is very old and has been in the loft for decades. The serial number EJ154928 dates it to the early 1950s from a bit of Google research). I know nothing about sewing machines, but it looks complete as far as I can tell. There are a lot of bits and pieces in small boxes to go with it), I have no idea what they are for. It will need a full service before it can be used again, but it is quite a nice looking thing and it would be good if someone who knows what to do can fix it up. Collect from Barrow (near the train station). It is very heavy!
