There were no attachment and no power cord, just the machine itself. Nothing else.

I wouldn't pay that much.
I found 3 Saturday for $500+ they had the cords and attatchments. I wouldn't pay that for them either...

My mother paid $45 for mine in 1969. It came with all the attachments

I wish I had my grandmothers for sentimental reasons mostly. Other than that, not really interested.

I had no interest in purchasing it. I was looking at it because I had never seen one up close. They sure are pretty.

No, no and no and I think they are lovely little machines! I think you can get one for lots less than that and it will even have a cord...but you know what they say....there is a buyer for everything!

There's a pristine Centenial FW in one of the local antique shops here, with a $400 price tag....it's been there more than a year! There are 3 others in the same booth, all with $400 or better price tags...you'd think they'd come down in price! If those machines didn't move during the Sisters Quilt show last year, they aren't going to move!

For JUST the machine with no cord and no attachments or case, they'd be lucky to get $50...who knows if it works or if the motor needs replaced?
