    Singer Sewing Machine V-Series
    Hi I am wondering if anyone can tell me roughly how much my singer sewing machine is worth. It is a V-Series, which was prior to the F-Series-that one was manufactured in 1910-1920. I am waiting for singer to get back to me with a dating on the series number, however, they cannot actually value them.:confused:

    If you look down at the bottom of this page, you will see links to questions that have been similar to yours. You might find some helpful information in them. I hope that you do.

    Following is what I said in response to another post. So, it is not a direct response to your individual question. But, it may help you. I hope that it does.

    First, I would go to the following site to determine how old it is. http://sewingmachine221sale.bizland....ore/page7.html

    From what I read on that site, and if all of the information is correct, it would look like your sewing machine is dated somewhere in the latter half of the 19th century.

    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.

    Your machine already has a sentimental value to you because of it's history in your family. Whether or not it has much monetary value depends on its condition, beauty and what someone would want to pay for it.

    If it were mine, and had belonged to one of my relatives, like parents or grandparents, and it were truly an antique, which it looks like yours probably is, then I would want to hang on to it, for myself, and also for my children.
