Question

sewing machine
I had picked up a childs sewing machine a number of years ago and was wondering about the date and approximate resale of this item.

Answer
Hello Sharon,
Thank you for your query.
The Singer Sewing Machine co. made hundreds upon hundreds of sewing machines, both the toy and household models.
Your machine dates to the late 1980's.
I do not purchase machines.
Your best bet when looking for a value would be to see what this type of machine is selling for on eBay or other internet sites.  This is your best gauge of what someone is actually willing to pay for it.
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.
