oh yes..very high for a slapped together machine. It is on a treadle base, but has a MOTOR??? really....looks like a Frankensinger to me!

Looks like it was a treadle at first, and someone added the motor. Still too high in price for me.

I think sometimes people think that if they don't clean it up, it will look older and worth the outlandish prices they want for them

Maybe the grime makes it a collectible?

Why oh why do they take pictures of the backside. I wonder what else is missing besides the spool pin? And yes, the drawers are in backwards.
