I just got my first one on eBay for (get ready) $113. She came yesterday, is a 1947, excellent condition, even the case is perfect. She's got such a funny bunch of treasures in the case, I am going through the time warp with them! I love to see all of the things people keep in their sewing cases--a key labeled with a note stating that "I don't know what this key is for." There's a folded sheet of paper with a machine needle sticking through it. On it is written-machine needle 80/16-bent. I am just having a ball going through this stuff. Now I'm going to give her an oil bath and spa treatment and a good meal of grease and we'll be on our way. Her name is Emma.
