Default Simplex for $1782.90!

I just picked up a great looking Simplex 15 clone, and when I opened the manual the first page lists the full cash value at $189.50. When I entered that into an inflation calculator with a guessed date of 1955 it is 1782.90 in today's dollars. I suspect that it may have been given away as an incentive or something and then listed at that cash price, but I have no idea. Just curious if anyone has some mid 50s sewing machine prices to compare.
