Here is the listing.

My 99 was bought in 1954 and I would never part with it. It saw me thro 5 kids....taught my daughters and granddaughters how to sew on it, and am now teaching my 10 year old neighbor. Kids love this machine...it's easy, won't run away with them, and simple to thread.
I have a modern Viking, but still use the 99 for certain things...like buttonholes....absolutely perfect~!
