Have the opportunity to buy a Singer Style -Mate model # 347. Anyone know anything about this machine and would you buy it? Asking $25.00 for it.

I don't think the Style-Mate is generally considered a collectible Singer, but the $25 price is good if it is in working condition. Could make a nice backup machine. I would be sure it sews well before purchasing it, as for this model you probably don't want to pay for replacing the electrical cords, missing parts, etc.

Edit: Found this web discussion:

And here's a different view of the same machine, which is why I mention it can make a good backup machine:
