Collectibles-General (Antiques)/Value of Singer Sewing Machine

Advertisement


Question
I have a Singer Futura II Model 920 with two-way sewing surface that was purchased around 1972.  It has a Singer cabinet, Model 217, and a storage stool.  Would you be able to tell me if there is much value for this machine?  I don't have a picture right now but can get one if this has any value.

Answer
Hello Nancy,
As I have said so many times before, I regret that I am NOT an expert in the full-sized household sewing machines.
My expertise as far as sewing machines go, is in the TOY or MINIATURE antique variety.
Please resubmit your question to another expert.
Thank 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.
