Gila, I will comment because of the picture you posted. I have that exact machine and cabinet. It takes center space in my sewing room. I purchased it in 1959. It was my first purchase out of college;I had a teaching degree in Home Economics. My father had told me I needed to buy 'something' on credit to establish credit worthiness. So I did, it cost $265. I paid 6 payments even though I had all the money at the time. I have loved that machine and would not part with it.
