I picked up this Singer 99k circa 1956 at an estate sale yesterday for $40 USD! It's in great shape and runs like a dream.
Sorry for the poor photo quality, my husband had our camera and all I had was my Blackberry.
I also got this Marian Martin pattern in the mail this week and am dying to make it up with a pencil skirt in stead (adjusting the lines of the skirt a little shouldn't be too hard? right?)
I think it would be so much fun to sew this pattern on that machine.
