The fifth picture is the home made looking cabinet, painted white. What tiny sort of machine takes a 7" by 10" cutout? Somewhere someone with a toy machine or one just a little smaller than a true Featherweight gave up and made their own?

on these C/l adds, I'll let you be the judge.
There's an add I seen for 6 yrs now and has come up again this week. it started out at $350, two and half yrs later went to $250. then $225. last summer was at $125 same photo's , same story line.
This week either the photo is cropped or a different background, story line has slight wording changes, yet is the same story, price is back to being $200
This is for singer 241 very nice looking and a very nice looking table. and multiple spools of thread. Do you have any idea what commercial thread cost ? the type I get is $20 a 1/4 pound, it sold by the pound not by the spool a 1/4 pound is a small spool of thread.
This add now show 1/2 lb spools x 3 last time it was 1/2 spools and 1 lb x 5 do the math
and my fishy pole o meter goes off..
