My new baby!

As much as I try to stay out of the stores, I was determined to find some old picture frames for a project with my little one (one I hope to share as soon as I find those frames). If course I was also thinking, ah, its the Salvation Army how much can I spend. I didn't find the frames of course but I did find this. It was right there in front calling my name. And after a bit of bartering they gave it to me for $25 off their original price. Of course I was thinking very practically - Ill buy it, fix it up and resell it. And now....well.....its a 1914 beauty with lots of gold etching and its just so cute, and probably functional, Im not sure I can part with it.

If anyone has any useful information about my new baby please share. Im a new mother, well at least to old sewing machines, and I have a lot to learn.
Ain't she special???
