    my guess is he is just collecting emails and phone numbers to sell somewhere...

    Eep - here's another picture of the back of the machine...why NO you cannot see the front!

    Yes, that's definitely a decorator piece. It looks to have either been spray painted black or in a FIRE!

    You know, all my life I have been absolutely STUPID. Whenever I sell something, I try to make it look nice when I advertise it. I am so dumb! How could I waste my time that way?

    poster's words: "I have certificate of auth. From Singer on this model"

    ... but, but, its a White Rotary??? I'm confused. Even has a pic of the 'Singer certificate of authenticity'
    It's adorable but W-A-Y overpriced. I love my little Japanese clones and don't have one in that pretty shade of green.

    Ooops...I linked the wrong machine.

    An OAK sewing machine goes with that magical cabinet. I suppose that you would need porcupine quills to use as needles in an antique oak sewing machine.
