QUESTION: Hello Irene,
)
I've noticed that you've answered questions regarding KAY an EE kids sewing machines in the past. I've enclosed a photo of our machine in excel condition with orginal box and instructions. Works perfectly and without a scratch.
Do you know its approximate value?
Thank you for your expertise!

ANSWER: Hello Terry,
Thank you for your query.
Is your machine battery operated or electric? They made both.
I look forward to your reply.

QUESTION: Hello Irene,
Thanks for the quick reply!
The machine is electric with original cord. Works perfectly. The photo shows a blotchy look on the machine and the wood base but that is just the digital photo.
Thank you!
Terry
Hello Terry,
Please realize that without actually viewing your machine in person, my opinion as to value might not be spot on the mark. But having viewed the photos that you sent and seeing that it has the original box and instructions, is in perfect working order, I would estimate a value of between $100 - $175.
I hope this helps.
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.
