I bought this machine at a garage sale. Asking was $40 and I offered $30 because I was really looking for a 1964 version like the one I received as a HS graduation present from my grandmother. This one is very close to it. It's a Singer Fashion Mate 237 . I looked it up on the internet and they were made in the late 60's. The lady said she was married in 1967 and bought it new shortly after that. She doesn't like to sew and just used it for mending. It works great and the buttonholer attachment has never used.
