I stumbled upon this auction of the Filson production facility in Post Falls, Idaho. Looks like dozens and dozens of Singer, Consew, Juki, Pegasus machines plus rolls of fabric, hook & loop, layout and cutting tables and spare machine parts. Lots are starting at $5 - $20. Ten days until auction closes. I wish I had more money and space right now.

Lots of interesting machinery in that auction. 

Unless you can pick up items in person within two days of the auction closing, it's best to figure out shipping options before placing a bid. Post Falls, Idaho is REALLY far away from places like Atlanta, Georgia.  I wouldn't count on the auctioneer to be of much help with arranging shipping.

Another US textile factory bites the dust. This is so sad. US made textiles used to be the best quality you could find.

Machines: Mitsubishi DB-130 single needle, Kansai Special RX-9803/UTC coverstitch, Union Special 56300F chainstitch, Pfaff 335-17 cylinder arm walking foot, Bonis Type A fur machine, Huji 43-6 patcher, Singer 99 hand cranked, Juki DDL-553 single needle (for sale)

I bought a Filson jacket 14 years ago. I've worn it a lot and it gets better the more I use it. I suppose it will outlast me. It might of been made at this facility.

I read all the terms before bidding, and having to pick it up is not an issue at all for me. I bid on factory/business closeouts all over the country regularly. I am registered on at least 20 different auctions sites,  so I know how this works. Of the three I am bidding on, I just hope I can at least win one, but I would surely take all three.:)

The only draw back I see is that all sewing machines  are 3 phase.  If youi have 3 phase, non problem but if you don't, it could be a big prob;em
