Ahhhhh, it has the fiddle base!! Love it!! Even if it isn't a museum piece, try restoring yourself. You will have lots of help.

It is worth whatever the purchaser is willing to pay. Craigslist is a great place to determine what prices are reasonable within your geographic area. Too much, it's posted over and over. Too little, it's quickly snapped up.

Hey, I bought one at a yard sale a month ago, a model 127 (1910 - 1920) and I cleaned it up myself! It was so much fun and you feel so good afterward. In fact, I just put a new belt on it tonight and its working great.

You can do it!

It reminds me that I saw a quilt in the museum in Paducah that is around the age of your machine. It's nice to think of machines and quilts in their historic context. Someone was probably thrilled to get that machine when it was new, and here it is today, still appreciated. Thanks for showing it to us.
