Whoo, this one is a doozy. I'd like to think they dropped a decimal, but likely not. I do like the decal, though.

I've got one of those! It's on my front porch if you want it. :) I haven't gotten around to taking it to the ReStore yet. It's been painted, but is in nice shape for all of that.

Hoooly cow! I got luckier than I knew-I only paid $30 for mine, and that was at an antique shop! ...That's some good stuff the OP is smoking.

The local scrap yard gives about 15 cents a pound. Times 25~ pounds of sewing machine is $3.75. I doubt it's worth that!

I just saw one of these in our local Habitat ReStore, in a Danish blond cabinet, for $50. My OSMG refers to them as the Chevy Vega of the Singer line-basic, no frills, but runs like a champ.
