I like the decals on that Eldridge you posted, Rodney. That big scroll is nice.

Christine-

What would you pay for this Wilcox and Gibbs?

Tough question. Others here are far better able to answer that one than I am. I'm not familiar with their machines and really can't suggest a fair price.

It looks like it's in great condition and the case helps the value. It's going to be worth more than an average machine but I still can't give a good number.

That is a good deal & on a mocha too. Nice accessories. Thx for posting this.

If you look on eBay at what machines like that sell for, you'll get an idea what it's worth. I paid quite a bit less than half for an older one in a box like that, with two manuals and a full set of attachments, but it had a replacement footpedal. And that was an auction, and there were several other bidders.

My personal opinion- the seller is way off track calling it "antique" or "museum quality". 1. it's not old enough to be an antique, and 2. it's way more worn than a what I'd want it I was looking for something for a Museum - I've seen very nice ones and this one is not even close.

here is a much nicer one that sold recently

Thank you for the information. I was curious to know how far off base this was. Thank you!
