That machine (the one for sale now) looks like a Version 2/3 model A. I have one that my notes for it say is dated to 1905. An online inflation calculator that I use only goes back to 1914, and $21.95 in 1914 would be $511.54 in 2014.

If you flip that, $21.95 in 2014 has the same buying power as $0.94 did back in 1914.
