I have wanted one of these for years. Just happened to stumble upon this one and could not resist it. It does have needles and shuttles in cases; don't know how many

I have found several over the years, but in much worse condition than this one is.

I have one of those too. Mine looks to be older than that. I know for a fact that it is over 60 years old. It also still has bobbin cases and needles. I haven't looked in it lately but I think there is a bobbin or 2 in it. My mom had an old singer machine that used that kind so I was holding on to them. She said I could have it but my sister took it to her house and she won't let me have it. She doesn't even sew. I could really use it but it's not worth hard feelings.

The seller said she had had it for 40 years. Do you know how you date them?
I know, my sis has our grandmother's Red Eye. I will get it if I outlive her, lol.

Tommie, Congrats! That looks like it is in nice condition. It should look lovely in your sewing room with your vintage machines.

Thanks. Can't wait to get it!!!!!

The one I have was in a store when I worked there as a teenager. The store was bought and sold about 3 times and I went back to work there again after my kids got grown. Everything was still the same old general store. I loved it for that reason. They had a fire while I was there and lost most everything but that survived and the owner gave it to me.
So I know how long it was there, just don't know how long before I ever saw it, but from what I remember, it didn't look new when I first saw it. It might be something to look into just for the heck of it. I wouldn't take anything for it.
