[SEE ME 123]

hello I have an old antique singer sewing machine from the 1800s all orignal, I was just wanting to know if maybe you would know the value of something that old, thankyou:)

[Fr_Chuck]

It is hard to say, is it in a table, what is the condition, all orignal including all parts. Is it in working condition/

There are some in near perfect condition where I see the asking price of about 1000. But I see most selling in the few hundred of dollars.

I have the sewing machine below antique dealers say they are only worth sentimental value at the same time they have a very plain basic one selling for $150. So I do not trust antique dealers. They want you to practically donate your antique for a few dollars and turn around and sell them for 150% profit.
Collectors give the best value if it is something they have been searching for.


this site might give you an idea but I have never been able to find a good site on antique sewing machine values and I have really looked because I see this ? A lot.
Selling it on a site like Ebay might work for you too.

How much is my machine worth?

Is this one that has been in your family a long time. Even if it hasn't been, I would like to also add the following concerning the "value" of your machine, if you don't mind.

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 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.

Does anyone know the year this sewing machine was made? I have one also but mine is a much darker wood and would like to find out more on it's history.

[N0help4u]

If it is the same as the picture of mine it was made somewhere between 1900 and 1920.
Most likely more between 1902 and 1915.

I really don't know the history but I know that is the time

[taryn2nd]

Thanks for the help :).

Mine is a darker wood as well. Does that make a difference?

[N0help4u]

No they really don't go up in value over any differences like that.
