    It's the popular Singer White machine.
    Well I'm amazed. Had no idea they made plastic or electronics in 1866!

    This is my grandmother Antique sewing machine. This sewing machine is in excellent shape and condition. The sewing machine can disappear inside of the desk asking $2000.00 or best offer
    I googled "Nelco vintage sewing machines" and the first image was your post on QB:

    Ha! That is funny. I love my Nelco. It is as heavy as a Buick though.

    I just saw this one on eBay. Seller needs to look up the definition of mint condition!

    That is hysterical! You didn't really offer $10, did you? Maybe I should offer $15...
