My 1959 Pink Atlas Sewing Machine.

I have been lusting for one of these sewing machines because it is PINK. She came with a full set of attachments in a pink box. A pink foot controller and the manual. Whoo Hooo! At the back of the manual is a Lifetime Guaranty Bond dated May 13, 1959. The full cash price in 1959 was $219.50 a lot of money in 1959.
I don't thing any of the plastic wonder sewing machines sold today come with a guarantee like this one.
