Question
What is it worth? It is in a beautiful cabinet with 4 drawers. The machine is black with gold painting I have the booklets on how to work the machine and alot of different attachments for the machine. The machine works great. But I was wanting to sell it and did not have a clue as to what it is worth. I have the bill of sale dated the 14 of may 1915 from standard sewing machine Co out of Cleveland Ohio It say Model N It also came with needles and a black box with over 20 different foot attachments. Please help me. God Bless
Hello Lynn,
Thank you for contacting me but I'm afraid that I do not do valuations sight unseen and I am not an expert in the full sized, household sewing machine. My expertise as far as sewing machines, go is in the antique toy or miniature variety. I am also an expert in antique thimbles and needlework tools.
Please forward your query on to someone who deals with these full sized household machines.
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.
