Update:: I've had a lot of questions that I didn't know how to answer. I've added additional photos and video. I am confident the machine is a LONG. Measured 13" to where the foot is and then and additional 6" when that plate is up. I also took a pic video of it running in reverse and forward. My sister came here and threaded the machine....hahaha. I am not the seamstress. Hope this helps everyone. Sheesh -- what a beauty!! I'm not sure it's been used. Was found in an attic and stored there for who knows how long. I don't see one blemish to the gold or black on this machine. It has the buttonholer with it. And I am not a "seamstress" but I did take a video of it purring like a kitten. Was soooo smooth! The original case has the leather coming apart in an area but other than that -- this is an outstanding piece of machinery!! I thought someone may want it.
