Congrats...great find. I found one in a junk store once pd $75 for it. I already had my mother's machine so I didn't need another for me...I took it to a sewing machine repar shop to have it checked out, the man wanted to buy it frome for $200. I noticed that he had others in his shop for over $500. He tuned it all up for me, and I put it on Ebay, sold it to a lady in Oregon..for $545. I wish I had kept it now. It would be nice to have one for each daughter. I also have the original wooden card table with cutout that was my mother's, and the recipt from when my dad bought it for her in 1954.
