That is a "beasty buttonholer". $10 in 1945 was a lot of money. Is there a part number on it?

Thanks for the info...just a note , have found info that this machine was probably manufactured sometime between May26,1896 and Dec.28,1897...Awesome!! and it is now stitching pretty well (still needs some tweeking on tension) thanks to your help! Appreciate it more than words can tell!! Thanks, DLP

Anyone looking for a beautiful 2 tone blue Vigorelli? http://hudsonvalley.craigslist.org/for/3354131026.html North of NYC I think the colors are probably nicer in person.

Jon, thanks for the help. They went between $48 and $100 so offering her $60 would be okay. Don't want to pay much more but will see how she responds. Thanks again.

That's true and that's why I am starting low but I already know my upper limit.

Guess it's only worth parts if it needs some expensive repair or part.
