The thief knew how to get the machine out of the cabinet??

Wow, that's smarter than half the people selling on eBay/CL!

I saw this "beauty" on ebay tonight. It looks like it was in the flood. But it works good!

In the late 1800s it would more likely be laudnam or cocaine (both were legal then)!

I cannot BELEIVE that this person is selling old cardboard boxes for $15...yes, they are stamped Singer model 221 but they are still...cardboard boxes...that someone used to store Christmas ornaments in...my guess is they are for the Featherweight remakes from the 80/90s.

I checked the serial numbers that were written on the boxes. The machine serial numbers date the boxes to 1950 and 1953.

I'm deciding against it as well. Plenty of other machines in the sea.
