(30 items)
Patented in the 1930s,
sold under a few different names including SEARS,
and eventually a featured item in the Singer line.
This one is cracked in a couple of places,
but it runs smoothly and takes a while to coast to a stop.
The ribbons are intact but somewhat stiff.
I bought it for $1 at an estate sale in 2005.
When I looked it up online today, 2025 Jan 01,
I was (pleasantly) shocked by the prices people are asking for these.
