Hi, I have a 1928 White Rotary sewing machine, in it's original cabinet. Where can I find out if it's worth anything?:confused:

Hi, etkokopelli!

Does everything work on it and would it be possible for you to post an image of it here?

Thanks!

Hi, yes I can post a picture. I'll have to check that everything works, it's been a while since I checked it out

Thanks again for posting images, etkokopelli!

The cabinet definitely needs some serious touch-up with the finish! It looks like a rejuvenation finishing will fix it up. I can describe to you how to do that. I've been restoring and refinishing furniture professionally since about 1980.

Where are you located, please? I ask so that maybe we can coordinate times to be on here at the same time so that we can communicate "live".

Thanks!

What kind of wood is the cabinet?
