    Default Look at the legs on this beauty!!!

    I'll bet that there will be some drooling by certain people when they look at the legs on this beauty! And it uses a curved needle? I never heard of that. Wonder where you can pick extras of those up?

    Here's hoping that the link works as there are a lot of photos:

    Those Florences are something else when it comes to sheer beauty.

    they are awesome.... I have the "plain leg" version and it is a sweet machine. This will most likely break $1000 on the auction.

    I know a collector that has the same Florence. Those picture don't even show the beauty of the legs. The machine it's self wasn't any big deal, It's the stand

    I'd be scared to see what the reserve is.

    There are some machines that are too beautiful to use. This is one of them.

    That is stunning! DH would probably even be willing to give that one a home!

    if it's as nice as the one I know of , it all it parts including the top. I guess at the value is closer to $2400 something for you to look for on the net, there is a photo of this, I never save links, singer made one machine with this style stand / legs.. the legs are made of solid brass. seems like it was for an expo worlds fair ??yes there works of art , see it in person was amazing that someone actually made a casting , how many hours must been put into just making the casting form

    Wow! That is possibly the prettiest sewing machine table I've ever seen, and the machine is really neat too. That curved needle is amazing...and probably really hard to replace!
