wanted the coffin top singer - cash only and me with only $1 in my pocket and needing to get somewhere else by 2! I sadly left them, not sure if they are open tomorrow or not, or even if the prices are good ( all but the treadle move freely)

These are wonderful. DH is probably glad right now that we don't live in Virginia.....

That coffin top is not a Singer. And in the shape it's in, it's not worth a whole lot more than what you had in your pocket.

Did you mean the Singer in the bentwood portable case? The Singer is a model 128 probably from the 40s or early 50s. The treadle machine looks like it might be a New Home and is a coffin top. Looks like it's in fairly rough shape.
The prices are mostly pretty decent for my market, yours might be different.

Is this the person who advertises vintage machine all the time on Craigslist in Alexandria?
