Sherri, $40 sounds good to me. Who knows, you may change your mind and choose to sew with it. ;-)

Buy it! I mean think about it...I know money is tight for many these days, but $40 is a very small amount for something that will be such a treasure.

Sounds like a good bargain but make sure it works sometimes finding parts for them is a little difficult.

I bought one for $40.00 last year and use it just for display and love the look of it. It adds so much charm for me. Good luck and send pictures.
