I absolutely love this group! I used the link sent that was shared and found that my Viking is from mid to late 50's, so not as old as some you have here, but I think I will enjoy it. In the meantime, I catch myself looking at all the garage sales, etc to see if they have anything interesting. Thanks for the help!!

Thanks for the feed back.
That's high for a 404. 404 is a straight stitch machine

We have a 1948 Dodge that we are restoring and I want to do the upholstery. Will this machine do that? Also, would $250 be out of line for this machine? Have to go look at it tomorrow, if it will work for what I want to do. Thanks.

16x257 needles are still easy to find.

So, there are no set rules here. You can offer less and see how bad they want to sell the machine. Treadles around her are usually right around $100.

If anyone is near pittsburgh or is looking for a white machine with the twig lettering this looks like a good deal.

I have a vintage Kenmore, but it is from the 60's or 70's-not quite as old as yours....but I belong to a yahoo group that is for the Kenmore machines...I don't remember the exact name of the group but it is something like vintagekenmoressew
If you do a yahoo search it may come up...if not and you want to check it out let me know and I will get the website address for you.....
