It really is the incomplete/thrashed "Stucco Cement Mixer toy truck" that makes this "1930's VS Clone deal SO SWEET....sigh.....

and this one....I'm just speechless...

http://monterey.craigslist.org/for/3439504248.html - $1000 "1940's Japanese Sewing machine"

That is ssssoooooo rare - it has the ability to be invisible!!!

I just seen a FEATHERWEIGHT on a flash back of the old movie, "Kramer vs. Kramer". Never watched that movie, but looks like the scene when he is packing up her stuff to send to her maybe. Dustin Hoffman reaches in a cubby and grabs a Featherweight. Beautiful one I might add. Bet that machine is worth a bit now.
