I bought a similar machine at a garage sale for about $30, but no oil can (they are worth a little) and no accessories came with it. $50 is about top price for what is in the photo, at least where I live.
Be sure never to pick up this machine by the handle. They are heavy, and quite frequently the locks break and the machine falls. Always support it underneath.
Oh - thank you - I would probably not have thought twice about picking it up by the handle! She did say she had the knee bar - and I'm going to check for the bobbin case. Is it a big thing to replace if it's missing? She said $50 or b/o. I really love the face plate.
