    Looks like a plastic toy sewing machine. Looks to be in nice shape, though.

    It is a plastic toy. I almost bought one for my niece until I was advised not to, due to poor stitch quality.

    It looks like a plastic toy machine. Looks to be in really great shape.

    I was gifted one of these a few years ago, gave it to Good Will. It's all plastic. Made in China. Battery or hand crank. For the display space it will take up, I'd rather have a vintage toy.

    That one looks to be actually usable as a sewing machine, as opposed to the plastic one in the OP.
