Cost should be around or less then 75.00 preferably around 30-40. Needs to have the shuttle and bobbin. Parts are not that hard to come by. It's a nice old machine if it works well. It would be a nice adition as well as a featherweight.
Decaling appears to be worn and will need gentle care in cleaning so as not to do further damage.

Hello from another neighbor. I think the machine is beautiful. $135.00 sounds like a good deal for a beautiful "conversation piece".

I just love old machines, and would buy it just to have one in my collection that is this old. Good luck!

Edited to say - I would be more likely to buy it in a treadle cabinet rather than with electricity.

I have bought several old machines because I have 4 granddaughters and 1 grandson. I want to be able to teach them how to sew and let them do it when they come to visit me. I have replaced wiring on lamps before but never on a sewing machine. Can someone tell me if it really requires you to be a certified electrician to do this or is it pretty straight forward and simple when replacing the wiring?

[quote=SuzyQ]depending on how much she costs, I might buy her just to polish her up and admire her!
