My Thrift Store Find; A Pink Sewing Machine!

Why is it that you can easily find something that you are not looking for? I wasn't looking for a Pink Atlas Sewing Machine but I found one. I got it at a thrift store in my area. I got it because it was in great condition, it was a great price(i won't say how much, that would be bragging), it had all of it's original accessories, it was pink and I didn't have one. This particular sewing machine is a zig-zag. I don't ever use it, I display it with a couple of old Singer Sewing Machines that I have.

Although Singer is the most regonizable name in sewing machines, Atlas sewing machine is close when it came to sturdiness and reliability. Atlas household sewing machines were actually maufactured in a Japan. They were sold by Franchise Dealers throughout the U.S.A. They will most likely have the "Atlas" logo and, the Atlas Sewing Machine Center, in this case the Atlas Sewing Machine Center is, Miami.
