My first reaction when I saw it was that it was a German machine, probably because the decals reminds me of my Frister & Rossmann Model E.
I know shuttles are pricey and the seller had no idea what I was talking about when I asked. She said it has a bobbin and sewing machine needle but that was all. So I wouldn't count on there being a shuttle.
I like the idea of having a cabinet so I can sew on a flat surface. This looks pretty sorry, though. I'll see if I can screen copy the two photos she posted. She said she's selling the machine and throwing in the cabinet for free.
It's a new auction site to me. It's local and lasts 24 hours (bidding on this ends at 6:14.59 tonight). If you're the highest bidder at that time, you bought it. I'm willing to take a risk, as long as the price doesn't go too high.
Thanks for your thoughts. I certainly don't need another sewing machine - unless it's a Featherweight! - but if it's cheap enough I'll have a new family member.
