I'd buy it because 1) it's a German Singer, thus collectible; 2) it's a great-looking machine with its distinctive script, German decals, 'oel', etc.; 3) it's in very good condition for its age; 4) it's from a dark and interesting time in world history; 5) $50 (from my perspective of watching CL in my area for a while) is a good price for a German Singer but that's very anecdotal; 6) this machine is a precursor to the Swing Needle series -- machines I like.
This is a machine I'd buy to collect, not necessarily use. Is the price negotiable?
