It sounds like a brand new machine. Almost makes me want to take up sewing!It comes in a 14-1/2" x 8" x 10-3/4" tall black carrying case. In addition to the sewing machine itself, there is:a cord a foot feed with cord a box containing over two dozen attachments (as pictured)a box containing a tube of Singer Motor Lubricant that is rusty a packet of Singer needles a 56-page instruction bookletBelow is the Condition Chart created for the International Sewing Machine Collectors’ Society over 20 years ago. It was quickly picked up by enthusiasts all over the world and is now the universally accepted way of describing a machine.  I am not a sewing machine specialist but using this chart I would rate this machine a very solid 8! This sewing machine is truly in EXCELLENT condition for the very serious collector!Sewing Machine Condition Chart10. Just like the day it left the factory. Not a scratch or mark upon it.9.

As in 7 but more wear to paint and/or some light surface rust to the bright work.5. The average, hard-used, ill-cared-for machine looking for someone to love it.4. Poor condition, chipped enamel, rusty metalwork but acceptable for a collection if a rare machine.3. In need of restoration but a reasonable job for a dedicated enthusiast.2.
