Question
Hello,
I would like to know if there is a market for antique sewing machines. I have not been able to find anyone who deals with the machines.....saying they are too hard to pass off. If there is a market, how would I get in touch with that person, or are you that person?
Thank you,
Gene
Hello Gene,

Hope this helps.

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.
