    It is also missing a "rare" bobbin slide plate! Thinking here that the seller should discount it a bit. LOL

    I have one too with an earlier serial number than this one and it came in a 7 drawer treadle base with the plate and accessories for $20. Maybe we should put our "rare" 66 machines up for sale on ebay too!

    For that price, it should be a red eye with rubies for the red eyes!

    Like the cabinet but it would be interesting to verify if it was indeed the 15th one made in that particular run of Singer 15s.

    To quote their own words "Please do your research. . . and realize you can't use EBay as a reliable pricing source!!!
