I can't imagine paying that much I've seen singers in the goodwill for only 100.00 with treadle, the cabinet is probably worth that and most likely doesnt work. Most of us own an antique don't we???

That was my thought, too.

Didn't we figure that? If they couldn't spell antique, they probably didn't know about decimal points either.

I took an antique class once and the instructor said nothing was an antique if it wasn't 100 years old. And in England (to our ladies in The Isles, please correct me) it wasn't an antique till it was 300 years old. Well, I have 32 more years to go and guess where that puts me. LOL

Guess they think we were born yesterday or have money to burn!!

The best descriptions of sewing machine parts I've read on Ebay was: the stabber(needle) and stomper(for foot pedal)

Let's see: must be the first sewing machine ever. Found deep in a cave in France near those famous old wall paintings. It's hand carved out of mastodon tusks.
