| The information on the Internet concerning your machine might not turn up readily in searches, but may be buried on a site somewhere that doesn't get good exposure in searches. What I mean is, the information is probably out there, but just is really hard to find because it might not be found well in general searches, but a person may need to know a specific site to go to in order to find the information concerning it.
The machine that you have already has some intrinsic/sentimental value to you because of your thinking that it "looks cool." I would feel the same way if I were smitten by the way that the machine looks.
Old sewing machines generally do not have a very high monetary value, unless they are wanted by someone who is a real serious collector who is willing to pay some serious money just to have the machine. But, those types of collectors are hard to come by. The old machines keep showing up for little if any cost at garage or rummage sales. However, the right person who has knowledge and use for them can really see the "value" in them.
The fact is though, is that many of the really old treadle machines can have a great artistic value because of the appearance they might have. Some of the old cabinets and artwork on the machines is absolutely gorgeous! They can make great conversation pieces in a home, especially if other artifacts from around the same era as the manufacture of them are also displayed along side and with them.
The old machines, if still working or can be made to work, do still have value as far as sewing is concerned, because some sewing techniques are better done with the speed and force that can be applied with the old treadles unlike those of modern sewing machines. |
