    That is a "beasty buttonholer". $10 in 1945 was a lot of money. Is there a part number on it?

    Anyone looking for a beautiful 2 tone blue Vigorelli? http://hudsonvalley.craigslist.org/for/3354131026.html North of NYC I think the colors are probably nicer in person.

    Jon, thanks for the help. They went between $48 and $100 so offering her $60 would be okay. Don't want to pay much more but will see how she responds. Thanks again.

    That's true and that's why I am starting low but I already know my upper limit.

    Guess it's only worth parts if it needs some expensive repair or part.

    That is so true and I'm not buying a parts machine as I have several already.
