I have a 1918 that my grandmother recd. as a wedding gift from my grandad. It sews like a dream. That is not the original cabinet, but it looks good and fits. Later you may find a lonesome cabinet for it and make it whole. I know you will find great enjoyment out of her.

Yes!!! Great price, has the cabinet, there is a lot of help out there for fixing her up (if she needs any fixing). Pretty machine.

$30 seems fair for this machine. Does it run? It has no reverse. Even if it does not run you can put a new potted motor on it or put a hand crank on it. You can buy new hand cranks on line.
