Question
Hello I'm after advise on a sewing machine my father gave me. The brand is STATE,its hand operated and in original case. I also have spare parts for this machine in original boxes. The brand of these parts are TUCKER. This machine is in working order and in great condition. Can you please reply if you are able to assist further. I would be after the value on this item also.
Many thanks, Kristy
Hello Kristy,
I believe that your sewing machine is a domestic home sewing machine (full sized). If this is the case, I am afraid I cannot be of assistance to you. My expertise as far as sewing machines go is in TOY or MINIATURE antique collectible sewing machines.
Regards,
Irene

Expertise
I have been a collector of antique sewing tools and thimbles for over 30 years. I am also a dealer in this field and sell on eBay under the name -- serengeti2. I am NOT, and I repeat NOT an expert on antique or vintage domestic household sewing machines used for everyday home sewing. I can offer help when it comes to TOY or miniature collectible sewing machines ONLY.
