It's not the money I am after, it a good home for the item. There ae a good number of them around and like I've written, when computers crash like the computerized new machines, and when electricity goes out - those machines will still keep on working.

Well, maybe someone will be happy to own it someday.

I just looked on Ebay and they are selling them from $200.00 and up.
I grew up with one in our home and we kids often used the wood top for a desk to do homework. I think my brother still has it in his home after our mom passed away.

Very few if any have any bids on them.
I have one in the garage that was given to me by someone that was moving. Although the actual sewing machine is beautiful I have no use for it, will never use it or display it and this is coming from an avid quilter and sewer. I only wanted it for the wrought iron base to use for a work table.

@Puzzle Piece - If you are looking to give it away to a good home maybe try Free Cycle (or Free Recycle). If you are looking to sell it what about a vintage store or an ad in the paper.

DI !!! I let a woman who is president of some sewing/quiltinmg society have it. She plans to raffle it off in the Fall! She was so excited too! Your sharing did wonders. It will go to a good home and money will be raised for a charity as well. THANK YOU !!!
