    1928 White Rotary Sewing Machine
    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!
