Sent the seller an e-mail because of the lateness of the hour, and crossed my fingers. My morning mail had a reply from him, and we made arrangements. Met him at noon and he passed me the goods, I handed him all small, unmarked bills. LOL (They were from my sewing tip jar.) She is a virgin. Original factory sewing test strip still in place, hinges and book still sealed in plastic, factory tag still in place. Machine perfect. A few scuffs on the case. I have a table, but it is more modern, and won’t do this lady justice. More Shopping!

The seller couldn't tell you anything about the machine? Strange. What year is it, do you know? Wonder if maybe it was crammed into the back corner of a store's storage room?

Guess YOU can make up a faux history to suit yourselfl

Oh, I'm sure I will. I have an old table in my storage unit. Nothing fancy, it won't do justice to the machine, but until I find something more appropriate, it'll do . . . if the hinge spacing fits. I don't like working on the box bases. I like these machines to use with my 4-H students because they're almost indestructible. Therefore, I'll have kids working on it too. (cringe)

Sooooo shiiiiiiineeey. Very pretty. Interesting, didn't know they made reproductions. Thought the only Singer reproductions were the crazy expensive Alphasew "featherweights".
