Answer
Hi Travis.  You can try these web sites:  

http://www.ismacs.net/
http:/www.yahoogroups.com/group/vintagesingers
http://www.treadleon.net/
http://www.needlebar.com
http://www2.hawaii.edu/~claw/sew/
http://www.aleph2.com/~trb/Sew_mach/sew_page.html
You may find many more sites if you do an internet search
OR contact jws100@pacbell.net (expect to pay a fee for an appraisal)
OR many sewing machine books are out that include a price guide
OR find an antiques dealer in your area by consulting your local phone book

Good luck with your search.  Barbara
