This poor thing looks like the machine and the table were both hosed down with black spray paint. . . http://fortwayne.craigslist.org/atq/3996943943.html

Love that Raymond
Sheluma, this one's for you: The manual is a 431, but that's not a 431.... looks like a chain stitcher though: http://edmonton.kijiji.ca/c-buy-and-...AdIdZ512544196

http://kansascity.craigslist.org/fuo/3988982776.html ~ I bought this for $10. It is missing the power cord from the cabinet to the outlet altho the seller swears she has it somewhere. Cabinet needs works, including veneer work, and needs major reconstructive work to be out back together so it'll hold together. Has a lazy Susan spool holder in the 1st drawer which the seller didn't know about. She did say she'd look for the cord but it takes a regular female end so hoping I can find something if the power cord decides not to be found. Could have also gotten a free kitten but DH said no emphatically.

Wow! Just those needles are worth 10x what you paid! And there's an old Singer seam guide still in the package! I like the cabinet. I hope the kitten finds as good of a home.
In the 4th picture, what is the part in the upper left?

I think this is the saddest featherweight I've seen.

Sheila, it's the bobbin winder. The needles are older milliner needles so don't know if they're for a machine or hand sewing. Will investigate more tomorrow. I love those old seam guides. Very handy. I think it was used to make clothes because there's tape like for a seam allowance but nit a 1/4 inch allowance. Nice attachments too. I am pleased with the purchase and hope the cabinet is salvageable.

"May need some repairs"? Um, what was their first clue; the gaping hole near the stitch plate? Or the tuft of toilet paper trying to stuff the thread spool holder?
That said, it does look like a cool machine.
