This machine was introduced at the world fair in 1964 and it still runs and sews to this day. The knee pedal, and all the plugs still work. Wood is in good condition with all drawers and even the tray for the bobbins. Great condition. These go on eBay for $500 but my fiancé and I are moving so it has to go.

Grandma is now 96 and wants to sell it. They had it appraised over 25 years ago for $10,000.00. The cabinet has never been refurbished and the coloring of the machine is still very vibrant. All original attachments included - even the oil can! I don't see a scratch on it! They don't make cabinets like this anymore! Many compartments for storage. All offers considered. The machine inside is called a Home Run. It goes with the cabinet.

Miriam. When do you ever sleep???? I think I had better start re-homing some sewing machines to save my grand kids a lot of trouble.

I didn't have to look very hard to find ads from Grandma...
|
I have my grandmother's machine and now I am a greatgrandmother. Think I can 'cash' in on it? NO, my kids would "kill" me. LOL
|
Most of them I would pass on, but there are a couple of them that I would buy in a heartbeat. Thanks
|
The "Home Run" had us cracking up
|

I'm thinking that grandma's machine is not the best advertising route to take. Unfortunately, memories really aren't worth much to other people..... only to you. Some of these are nice machines......$10,000????? Really?????
