I have a 1951 Singer Black and Gold sewing machine, complete with the original cabinet. It's in storage right now. I've had it for 17 years. Acquired it while at a yard sale. Apparently the former owners didn't see the value in it. I bought it for $40, had it appraised and it was over $100. Not sure what it would be worth now, but it has all of the original hardware, accessories and even the instruction booklet.
