Question
Hi

I have a singer sewing machine dated 1895.

Was just wondering if you have any idea how much it is worth.

Thanks

Answer
Hello Andy,
I am sorry but it is impossible for me to state a value of an item that I have not seen. Many factors go into valuation including how rare an object is and of course condition.

You might find it helpful to review all of my other correspondence re: sewing machines. There are numerous websites listed that may provide you with additional information.
Good luck,
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.
