I picked this up yesterday in KC. It had a motor attached and a light on it but took those off. Am in the process of cleaning it up. It is in pretty good shape considering the age. Very few scratches. And it came with a shuttle and 4 bobbins. $25.00.
This machine was originally a treadle and will go into a treadle cabinet when I get everything moved.
I was out today and found the Manual of Family Sewing Machines book dated 1923 and the Singer Lubricant at a local thrift store. They were hidden away in an old Kenmore cabinet got them both for$1.00 total.

That is a great find, especially the book. Where abouts were you in the KC area to find these items. Was it at a Goodwill Store, Salvation Army Store or just a thrift store.
