If what I am reading from the following site is correct. SINGER® SEWING CO. | Support: Serial Numbers Yours would appear to be dated at about 1947.

I'm going to quote something from another thread that I had posted concerning these machines. This is something that has been in your family for a long time. It's still a functional machine. The monetary value of old machines can vary greatly. As such, I don't really think that we can put a monetary value on it here. What it might be worth monetarily would depend on what someone would want to pay for it. However, the sentimental value of it could be priceless!

Quote:
A lot of people will say that the old machines don't have much value because they keep appearing in yard and garage sales, etc.

However, some of the machines from the early era of them can be quite beautiful in the artwork on the machines themselves and also in the cabinetry work.

They can make a nice display in the home if you get creative and put some things around them that are also from the same era from when they were made. Conversation pieces.

In my home, almost every piece of furniture has a story behind it.

You might also want to do a Google search for Antique Singer Sewing Machine eBay. You will probably find some links then as to how much people are wanting to sell them for and are also willing to pay to purchase them.

Below, is the link to that search.
