I made him an offer and I am going to have a member from the NB pick it up for me if he takes it. I hope he is not a member of this board because it is worth every penny he is asking for it.
There is a story behind the decals and the designer for this machine. The NB has the copies of the patent papers for the design and Claire has photos of the mans home who designed them for Singer. I forgot his name but he also did one other set for Singer.
If you guys dont keep showing me these machines I will never get my bike at this rate!!!

This machine has pristine decals....I'm sure it was most likely taken good care of!
What I love is the guy wants you to leave positive feedback within 24 hours of the purchase! (So he can get his money from Paypal) Yeah...right! I'm gonna do that! You leave positive feedback, you have no course of action if he fails in his part of the deal!!

He has the nicest and probably the biggest collection of vintage machines in the country.
