Default Hand Crank Singer

I think we are looking at the back of a Hand Crank Singer Sewing Machine. Any ideas about it or its worth. The auction is tomorrow, and I am 1000 miles away. I will need someone else to be there and bid for me. The book gives no details or any other pictures. What do you think?

They usually sell for about 65.00 at a live auction. On EBAY of course they go much higher because people lose their senses when they bid. I could have pruchased 4 of them at a local auction this past fall at the 65.00 price. I did buy one that is smaller than that one for 60.00

Singer "SewHandy" Child's toy sewing machine. (they work, but are so-so chain-stitchers) I see them around here for under $50 a lot.

The earlier model 20's go for more like 75-150 in this area

I avoid the toy machines. It's not that I don't like them. It's just that I'm already in over my head with the real ones.

*EDIT* I just noticed what looks like a tattered original box behind it. That doesn't hurt the value at all. Better a bad box than no box if you're collecting.
