We recently bought a Free sewing Machine in a treadle cabinet for $5 at a yard sale, and were wondering the value of it? We haven't found a collectible price list for these anywhere...

Try Ebay, you may be surprised.

You might like to check out these sites. Even though some of the titles to the sites have the same names, they are about different machines.

You also might want to consider the following from a post that I wrote a number of weeks ago.

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. They can become great conversation pieces then.

In my home, almost every piece of furniture has a story behind it. Either having a long history in my family or, there was an unusual way in which I acquired them.

Whether it has much monetary value depends on its condition, beauty and what someone would want to pay for it.

Just a tip. If the machine is on a stand that is made of cast iron, which either all or part of it almost certainly is, please be very careful when moving it so that it doesn't get dropped. The cast iron does break very easily. That's how we lost a very old family sewing machine. I was the one who dropped it on the cement outdoors!

Someone who commented on my post added the following:

I sold a 1883 Singer sewing machine, with a Coffin top, that covered the machine on top, instead of it dropping down into the cabinet, for 530.00. It was in very good condition, with 6 side drawers. Hope this helps, bhfinds

well I have one of my own from the early 1900s and it was valued at 500$ us... but with out a pic I can't tell u if theu are the same
