I thought you might get a kick out of this one. Last week they had it priced at $200. This week it's only $175.

Clamped to some kind of table? No motor, no treadle belt (nor holes to run it through), and no hand crank...how would one make it sew?? And only $175.

It looks like there might be some sort of suicide knob bolted through the hand wheel. ouch!!!

Maybe someday it could look like this again..... Lot's of work!
My friend Mo gave this one to me. It was his aunts.

Good eye, Janey. My arm is tired just looking at it now.

Now, that's the way it should look!

You're right! I hadn't noticed that.

Crazy price for a sorely neglected machine! I wouldn't take it if it was free.
