This is Beatrice. I call her Aunt Bee (yes, after THAT Aunt Bee that took such good care of the Sheriff and Opie in the Andy Griffith show).
She was born in 1924 and is a Singer Model 66 with filigree decals. She's a converted treadle:

She has so many parts, all original, including her 1924 Manual!

| Includes a hemmer and ruffler and her original oil can! |
I have been spending time on YouTube looking into how to clean and oil her and change her belt if need be. There’s lots of info out there and many Vintage Sewing Machine groups that all have helpful info. I’m going to have a great time with her in 2013!

In 2012, December has 5 Fridays, 5 Saturdays, and 5 Sundays. This apparently happens once every 823 years! Plenty of time left to go Christmas shopping …

December 2012 had 5 Mondays, not 5 Fridays.
In any case the 5 Fridays, 5 Saturdays and 5 Sundays happens whenever December starts on a Friday, and much more often than once every 823 years.
The last occurrence was in 2006 and the next is in 2017.
Oops. There's my lesson for "don't believe everything you read on the Internet". Thanks for the clarification.
