the machine was very old. i took another look at the numbers on singer site and it is a 27 not a 44. the cabnet was unusual. it has a leaf that folded out to the left and a double hinged leaf that folded out to the right. who ever had her had pinned a pin cushion kind of thing over the arm. it was so cute but i have not got the money for her. i could have cried. oh well.
