Question
Hi, I have a sewing machine, that my boyfriends mom gave me and I would like to find some information about it. I haven't been able to. It is made from Japan model Edison and has an electric foot peddle and is in a table. i would like to know if its worth anything. any info would help thanks, Amy I also have pictures if you would like me to email them to you.
Hello,
I am sorry but as I have stated before, my expertise is not in domestic household sewing machines but in TOY collectible sewing machines. I did look through the limited information I have on household machines but did not find the Edison.
If you look through my Questions and Answers you will find numerous websites that I have referenced that might be of interest to you. Here is another one which lists just about ever household sewing machine made:

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.
