"This is in working condition and we are not sure how old it is but we are guessing it is around the very early 1900's.."

Great guess!

I'm just shaking my head on that one.

"This is a White Singer Featherweight 221 {snip} As you can see in the picture, the certificate states it was made in 1900"

It must be the very first 221 ever made! That's got to be worth something
It's amazing how things age when you leave out part of the serial number.

That's pretty standard for Texas.

Must have been made around the same time as the Ambassador I posted.

I would not bet on the accuracy of the date, but for an EARLY machine go here....

If only I could. That's a cool machine. I wish there was a better shot of the base and wheels on it.

I was confused too. Is the singleton for sale for 90 and he has 3 others exactly the same? Are all four machines going for 90 total? And what's with the pic of ALL THOSE MACHINES? I mean it's cool and all but it really doesn't relate much to his ad does it?

The ad said from AllSaints. IIRC The display is in their store. It could be they're selling off some excess machines.
I like the single one they're showing.
