I think I figured out why sellers don't show pictures of machines-it's because that's not what they used/intended to use the piece for, so they don't care. To them, it's furniture, so they're showing the important part-the furniture.

How did I figure this out? I helped a neighbor rearrange her furniture yesterday; she had a beautiful Queen Anne end table that--surprise!!--had a 66 in it. She knew it was there, but didn't know anything about it beyond it being "some old black Singer." She bought years ago it for the table and didn't know that the head would come out. (I took it out for her so that she could move the table herself.) She was fairly astounded that A: I was interested in the head, and B: I knew what it was. I'll bet that's what's going on with the sellers, too.

I have a girlfriend with a really nice table that she used for years to hold her tv. I told her that it was a sewing machine cabinet so she pulled it our and it's a 15-91 from 1936. She's excited and wants me to clean it up for her. I said yes but only if she uses it. She has boys in Scouts so it probably will see some use. ~ Chris

I don't get it - if it has been through a flood and FOUND living in a basement why would it be worth ssssooooooo much... AND don't know the year but you know how much it is worth??? AND you can't do pictures????

Surely the poster is trying to get our attention! They even admit that part of the table is missing!
