Question
I have a very old casige toy sewing machine and I'd like to find out how old it is and how much its worth. Can you help me? Its hard to read but some of the numbers on it are 1470 And it has 1015 on the front.

Answer
Hello Jodee.  Sewing machines (toy or otherwise) are not my area of expertise.  However, I do know there are a number of good books with price guides out on the subject.  Check for Glenda Thomas' two books on toy sewing machines.  There are also a number of web sites that can help you with information on what you have.  Good luck with your search.  Barb
