Question
I have a Singer Little Touch %26 Sew, Model - 67A3. How can I find out the value and if there is a market for this item.
Hello Rocky,
Are you able to attach photos of your machine? If you can send me clear photographs and also a complete and accurate condition report, I might be able to give you an estimated value. Please include any items that you have with the machine i.e. original box, clamp etc.
As to selling -- you could list your item on any auction website after setting up an account. Also, check eBay for past auctions that relate to your machine -- this will give you an indicator of what the current market value might be.
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.
