I have find find one of these in the charity shop. It's so beautiful. Now I don't need it. But....See above. Looked up the serial number and it's dated 1952ish. It's £110. Is that reasonable?

If you want one that’s a good price.

Why haven't you bought it? You know it needs a home. Go and haggle....

It's all very well saying that you don't need it, but what about when you
do
need it - you'll never find one then!!

If it’s in good condition I think you should go for it. They usually go for twice that amount. Saw a cream one on Thursday, very pretty. Sadly it was owned by someone and not for sale.

Oh we are such a bunch of enablers, aren't we!! Hope you enjoy it - they appear to go for silly prices dont they! I still have a hankering for one but simply daren't mention it!!

I have learnt by my mistakes: Sewing machines now are Bernina 720, Bernina 1008, Bernina 801 from 1981, Brother overlocker, ancient but works well
