Anyway, I got a puzzle box and a second wooden box of attachments with odd's and ends in it, like a White bobbin and a W&W bobbin along with attachments.
I paid $65 for the whole thing - it is missing the coffin top.

Wow, I take a day to put together a quilt top and the machines come out of the woodworks. Nice finds everyone. I stay on the lookout, and mention my addiction, I mean hobby, and have gotten a couple of machines that way. I still cannot imagine, in my wildest dreams, thinking I would rather have a little money that would be gone in a flash, than my grandmother's sewing machine. It is, in a way, a sad hobby, because you know all these machines were somebody's pride and joy when they got them. I always make sure to get the story if at all possible, and make sure that there isn't someone in the family that would want it.
