The auction for this little gem ends just after 11:00 pm on Tues. I wish it was closer to me! The estimated shipping from NY to TX is just over $60.00! Yet if someone lives closer this would be a bargain!

I had one shipped to me in North Dakota from New York for $30. The only thing wrong was the guy didn't pack it against breakage and the bottom of the machine which is a plastic broke. He refunded my money for the machine and the postage. $61.00 total. She is a nice little gem that sews great but no bottom to set machine into. am looking for one of them unless I can find something to glue mine back together so it holds the machine.

I thought that she was so cute that the board would like seeing her, & if someone was close who wanted her they could get her.
Thanks for the offer! :thumbup:

I bought a treadle, 1909 Singer....29.21 from Goodwill online, cost me 65.00 to ship it from Michigan, well packed and with the cabinet. Couldn't find anything like it down here in Texas that I could afford. Runs like a dream.....has the beautiful lotus decals on it.
