She found them at a auction in a little town near me.She said they had a lot of them.Apparently found in a old warehouse.Some of them were locked up and wouldn't work,so they let her try them out and find a good one.I don't think they knew what they had.It isn't a old one it says2010 right on it. It has the Singer name on it also.It could be a reproduction,but if it is it's sure a good one
