not on freecycle, but a while ago my colleague told me she had put an advert in a window for a singer sewing machine. We were both costumiers and she had an interest in historical machines. The ad? "Wanted - Old Black Singers"

When I first started to work for Environmental Health I was shocked to read a report from one of the officers that contained the phrase "...and laid on a bed of well rammed hardcore....."
I discovered later that I referred to the method of applying a damp proof course!
