Hi, This sewing machine belonged to my mother. I'm not sure, but I think she got it in the 1960s. My fantasy had been that I would learn to sew and get to use it--but it never happened. It's exactly as she left it and I believe it to be in working order, though I haven't tried it myself. I have some threads and accessories (see picture below). I don't think it has significant value, but I'd love to see it go to a good home. I'm asking just $30. You're welcome to come and see it and try it out. I live in Highland Park. Claudette
