    Our local auctioneers tell me the same thing about the vintage machines but yet they always do sell. I sometimes wonder if nothing = less than they are worth.

    The 66 is missing the bobbin cover and it's an older one-no reverse. The finish and case are also beat up. Nothing special about the case either. Just a generic wooden one with a broken handle. I mainly want the case so I can measure it and see how they're put together plus I can always use another case. Most of the machines I find are in cabinets or have nothing at all. I don't have room for more cabinets.
    If I get it great! If not then it wasn't meant to be.

    I sent a friendly note to them,... I fully expect an "eff off" reply if any at all.
    Haha... in your note, did you mention that they had misread the serial number, or did you focus on the asking price vs worth disparity? That one did seem really optimistic.

    Sure did.

    I thought I'd let you know about some mis-information in your ad.
    A Singer 15-90 is not a rare machine. In fact, the Singer 15 is the longest running machine that Singer ever made.
    The serial number - JD000487 indicates that the machine was made in 1954. http://www.singerco.com/support/mach.../double-letter The serial number on the motor is not relevant.
    It's not a particularly valuable machine, as is very typical with Singer, as they were very much into mass marketing and market share, rather than particularly high end machines that held their value.
    The case is unlikely an original. It's more likely a replacement.
    Also, the machine has less value to people who want it to use it as it appears in the photos to be missing parts - the slide plate at the very least - has a noisy belt on it - the cogged belts always are, and it requires an electrical repair based on your last photo.

    I don't think I have ever seen a Coffee Table repurpose. . . The drawer hardware is BEAUTIFUL though. .

    No pretending the wood was shot on that one. Looks like it's going to be a pirate for Holloween.
