I would like to know how much is my 1800's sewing machine worth now?

What is the brand of machine that you have? Do you know what the serial number is? It would help to know those things in order to give you the best answer.

I would also suggest checking out the answers on the following links. Please look at all of them. You will find helpful information there. There are a lot of factors that go into determining the "value" of the old machines.

Also, here is a quote from an answer on one of the links:


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.

Here, is another quote:


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