Now this is a leather sewing machine to admire. Raw free standing power. Not a Singer 29 either although I know we love those around here.

This gnomezilla machine (a little godzilla) sold on local Craigslist a few months ago for $30.
There's one on eBay right now for $30 alone or $55 with attachments.
And then there's this guy with a broken cabinet. . .

That leather machine is something else.

Another unknowing person who has gotten an appraisal from an antique dealer. It might take a year or two before they get their head out of the clouds and back to reality.

That room looks showroom perfect behind it. Which look warned me there was going to be some price padding even past the appropriate cost of a perfectly restored and shining machine. I was not ready for that much padding though.

That is a worse background for price padding than the "I broke into an apartment for rent, the carpet is fresh deep vacuumed and the room is empty otherwise, the cabinet is barn fresh" background to some photos.

Huh... I always wondered what a Air Loom looked like....

Air Looms are very expensive

I don't think this one is going to knock as much off of their bill as they are hoping, though the "2,000,000th Touch & Sew" plaque is interesting.

I'll give them an A+ for the pictures, though.

Ummm...

now that is some of the most interesting misinformation I've seen in a awhile. But seriously - all that and not even a picture of the machine?
