Question
I have a red vintage small sewing machine. It has floral decals on it. It is old, the hand crank works. Is it worth anything?
Hello Jo,
Please provide photos of your toy sewing machine. Please also provide me with a detailed condition report, noting any damage. Do you have the original box and instruction sheet that came with the machine?
Please note ... I can only give you an estimated value as I am not able to inspect the sewing machine myself. The website eBay is always a valuable tool to use as it helps give an up-to-date guide as to what collectors are willing to pay and what items are currently selling for.
I look forward to helping you.
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.
