    Well, if it's been maintained so well, why is its face place so grimy in the last picture? Money in the eye of the current beholder I guess. Maybe it's patina, not grime, and that makes it more expensive.

    Nah! It is the vintage DustTex box the attachments are in, the box is what makes it "RARE".

    I had a good laugh over this one too. I smell like sewing machine oil so I must be rare.
