Question
I have an old 1900 sewing machine that has a desk and open sp and the sewing machine sits on the top. The sewing machine is my great great grand mother's. It is a siger sewing machine- black in color. On the bottom it has a foot paddle you can mash and it's like a wheel turning. What is this worth?
Hello Sharon,
From your query I believe you have a household, full-sized domestic sewing machine on a stand. If this is the case, I cannot help you I am afraid. My expertise is in antique needlework tools, thimbles and also toy or miniature sewing machines only.
As to a price, that is impossible for anyone to gauge without photographs, a detailed comprehensive description of the machine which would includes a true and honest condition report.
There are websites that deal with household sewing machines and you might want to try this one.

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.
