I'm trying to figure out why this guy thought it was necessary to stand on a ladder to take pictures of the machine. Was he afraid of it? Does it reek of something? Well ... the price reeks of something.

I really would like to see this one (and make a more reasonable offer) ... I guess I'll need to bring my flashlight

It's either napping or having a bad migraine day. I love the irons on these, but the tiny machine seems out of proportion to me. I hope it has the nice bronze finish.

No ladder, he is just very very very tall and very very very out of touch with reality - the air that high up is a lot thinner...

From what I could see from the lousy dark photo's, the machine looks to be correct. I can also see a tinge of bronze on the irons.

I've actually got a set of irons for this machine in stunning condition, we've been looking for a reasonably priced head.

The seller says "THIS IS A PARLOR SEWING MACHINE".
I say, no, it is a parlor cabinet. Ugh. And what really is the purpose of the paperwork over having a couple of pictures of the machine? I wonder if they would sell just the paperwork.....
