Sometimes it works out though - when we bought that nice Pfaff 130 in the neat cabinet with the chair - it was sitting next to an old, rather beat up New Home Treadle, priced at $395 that had been there since I started looking a few years ago. The Pfaff had no price, so the clerk called the owner - when she told her it was the "newer one, from the 40's - the owner said $55. I was shocked, but glad. Owner figured the older New Home (antique ) was worth a lot and the non-antique not so. I wasn't about to inform the owner that the Pfaff was worth about $150 and the New Home about $100.
