I have a Montgomery Ward rough surface dark brown electric sewing machine in a cabinet with a knee depresser. When plugged in the motor makes a humming sound, the cord is frayed, nothing moves. I plan to get a new motor with cord and have the machine serviced and restored to running condition. I wish to know the year and approximate value. Serial number E 14 NS-121 A. I rescued this machine from being thrown onto a dump. I plan to keep it.
Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

short of making a lamp out of it, or a mail box holder, the dump is about where it belongs.

Old electric sewing machines have no value, not even parts normally.
You could replace the motor, if you need one to use, if the other parts are in working order.

Here is one on Ebay, $25 no bids. Only thing with a bid is an oil can! Typically these machines have little value, most people don't sew and /or buy something newer.
