About a month ago, there was a pristine looking Jolson sewing machine for sale from an estate. The starting bid price was too much for my wallet, but I was interested in it. The history on Jolson and his Nelco brand is actually quite something. A true 'bootstraps' immigrant story of ingenuity and engineering.
Update: the machine didn't sell and it's up for sale again on Ebay. I just put another bid on it, but the reserve price is not met yet.
HI, I've been bidding on that very same machine, I believe. It's been listed several times, and I've been in contact with the seller, as the reserve was so high and then it showed up as sold for a far lesser price. I was curious and expressed my remorse for not bidding higher as the reserve was listed so high. Long story short, the buyer backed out, it was relisted and i bought it today. Can't wait to get it and I will post photos, and reviews when I get it. I have Necchis, Elnas, and a Nelco so it should be a nice combo of all of them.
