I am looking for an estimate on the price of an Antique Singer Sewing Machine. It is a V.S.2 Model made in Kilbowie in 1890. It is in decent condition with the gold leafing well intact. It sits on a cabinet with three drawers on each side and I believe it has all of its original attachments. If you know a rough price for this or somewhere to look further I would appreciate it. (if this isn't the right topic area please let me know where to ask, thanks)

Is the first one it? Singer pictures from antiques photos on webshots (http://home-and-garden.webshots.com/photo/1297679710043511734XqdsuW)

I have the other one and the antique dealers tell me it is only worth sentimental value.
A collector will pay better. I saw it on eBay up to $76.00 -so far-

I have never been able to find a site that says the actual values of antique sewing machines.

I restore and refinish old furniture and sewing machines. This is a nice piece. Unfortunately Singer manufactured hundreds of thousands of these and similar. They have more personal value than actual value. This particular unit could be worth as much as $400-$500 dollars to a collector or other Singer fan. Check the serial #, then check Singers web site for age and where it was made. Good luck.

Hello,

I live in the DC Metropolitan area and wanted to know if you would know any appraisers in this area. I read the post of person who you responded to who has the same Singer machine as I have. Really don't know the serial # of the machine, but I did take a picture of the motor area... there's a label there. It reads:

SINGER SEWING MOTOR
CAT BZ 21-8
S.S. AU52-16-31
Elizabethport, NJ
SIMANCO

Also, based on the information I gave you, would you know anything about this machine? My mother told me that her grandmother (my great-grandma) said this machine is from the 1920s... Do you know if this is true?
