I've been at this hobby for around 12 years. It's time though to move on from sewing machine collecting to concentrating on getting my two cars fixed up.
I still have several nice sewing machines that I plan on keeping longer term. Below are photos of most of them.
Hand Crank with no name (German I believe, might be a Gritzner):
Pfaff 130 with the 50010 "coffee grinder" decorative stitch attachment:
Mint Green Singer 319W with the cool "piano key" stitch pattern selectors:
Singer 221 Featherweight, naturally:
Singer 301 (the first "slant-needle" Singer model):
Singer 401A (every collection should have one of these, with its gazillion built-in stitch patterns):
Singer 500:
Singer 15-125, which is basically an updated 15-91 that's mint green instead of your basic black:
Emdeko (this was one of my first "nice" imports):
New Home 270 (what's not to like?):
Pink no-name machine (just couldn't bring myself to part with a pink sewing machine):
Singer industrial 111W155 needle-feed:
Singer 66-1 Treadle from 1908 needing a little work:
A few other less notable machines gets the count up to around 20, which probably sounds like quite a few to most folks, but to me it's just about right. For now.

Congrats! I'm at about 100 and I'm done. Except for the Bernina 1130 I bought a few weeks ago. Swore I would NEVER get a computerized machine but curiosity got the best of me. I would like to get down to a couple dozen, because then I can maintain them and switch them out from time to time. The plan was to get each up to speed one at a time and get them out the door one at a time, but your 'many out the door at one time' method is looking awfully attractive.
