Singer
Site unseen its really hard to say. They made so many of those under so many variations, some very fancy, most very plain. It depends on what model it is. Is it a Golden Powermaster? Does it have a retractable cord? Many different factors to consider. Is the paint on the base shot, is it corroding, is it complete? This is just me but unless a vacuum is underwater or hopelessly corroded I normally just grab it up. If you cant get pictures before making your decision I would just grab it.

Well, if its like that it isn't necessarily rare. Lots of plastic. That was a pretty basic or BOL (Bottom of the Line) model. I've got the "deluxe" model of that with the auto cord reel. Its a pretty good machine but brush strips seem to be nearly impossible to find. Getting a generic outer bag for it is easier, in fact I think I have 2. I would grab it up if you like it.

It's not my bottle of moonshine so I'll just leave it if I can't flip it. I like machines with more color and style. | ||

vintage Singer I "rescued" one just like that, but with the cord rewinder, and completely disassembled and sanitized it. Runs great and very clean. Its a real "carpet grabber"!! Would like for someone to have it. Just email me if interested and for pics. | ||
