That is one VERY stout looking chair! Downsizing eh? Did they downsize themselves and not need such a stout chair?

You need to make sure the bobbin can is there plus something in the bobbin can. Those 2 pieces are rare as hen's teeth. Hopefully, more knowledgeable people will chime in here.
The cabinet is the mission style cabinet and very nice looking.

I noticed there are no pictures of the "rare" bobbins included in the pics. Scare tactic maybe??????

Steve, That is a sweet looking machine and decals are in good shape.

I am in other parts of the house!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You're right about the kitties and dogs not caring as long as there's room for them there too. I would love to have the downstairs but DH has said no way in Hades to that request so I must do some down sizing of my stuff. Uncovering it first would be a good start but am wondering how many will actually turn up in that process. Probably more than I realize.

Owner said everything is there. This was her MIL's machine and she has owned it for many years but never used it.

We are going to look at it tomorrow AM, and if it's all there, it will come home with us.

Hoping it's all there when you look at it. Sure is a pretty machine.
