Question
I have an old child's sewing machine owned by my mother as a child. It is called a Victoria Sewing Machine - No. 48-900. Made in Germany. I would guess my mother received it in the 1920s. The box has an M over a W on it. (Montgomery Ward?) The instructions has a symbol between The ______ Victoria-Sewing Machine. It is wings with an E.P. below it. I will try to send you a picture of the machine and the instructions if it helps. I am curious if it is of any value in today's antique market. What do you think it is worth?
Hello Victoria,
Thank you for your query.
In order for me to be of assistance to you, I am going to need to see photographs (plural).
There are various models of the Victoria.
Please attach photos to this format or send to me at: xtahoeviews@yahoo.com
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.
