    That is really cool looking. If you could clean it up, you'd have a great display piece.

    It sounds like a great deal to me. Even if she never sews she will be a wonderful conversation piece.

    If I had the opportunity to get that machine for $25.00 I would grab it and not look back. It would be wonderful to work and clean up that jewel. I would guess it is a diamond in the rough! Go for it.

    Ooooo, looks beautiful even in the rough shape. If she could talk, there would be some stories, I'm sure.

    Yes, by all means get it. you will kick yourself if you don't. I know I would. Clean it up as best you can and enjoy it.

    My only question would be: Is it rusted shut so that the needle doesn't move... if it can move, then I, too, would grab it. Enjoy!

    Oh, my gosh! You don't have it yet???!!! I'd pay more for it, just to have it on a shelf! It's gorgeous, working or not!
