I looked for it on ebay and couldn't find it....the boobin and case in side looks fine. i\It's the ouside that has been allowed to rust. I put on a light film of oil to stop the rusting....it looks as if the machine was very ornate

Go to Ebay, look under antique singer sewing machines, then scrool till you find it. 3 days left to the end. It is the 11th one down on the second page. His lister name is Wolfegang's Collectibes.

Wow that thing is beautiful and it sews...its a bit different i'll look for the serial number it looks like 155856
not sure ,looks like they went over it

Its fun to buy one for a few dollars and get them to sew. I gave two of the singers to young girls who were taking a garmet sewing class with my grandaughter....she told me they both are making a lot of things at home.

Ten has been my top price. I just love old machines, but those new ones sure make sewing easy...I saw a nice serger...it had everything the book a dvd, a set of threads a case..personal notes $225. spotless a year old and it was a babylock....sigh

I keep hoping I will find an embroidery machine, cheap. or how about a longarm set up...have to be under $50..... :lol: :lol: :lol: A girl can dream
