Question
Hello, i have two sewing machines, old singer models, whit serial nr. 385802 and 3358025 and i would like to know the if you can tell me the aproximate value of the machines, or perhaps where can i ask for that. Sorry my english. Best regards, Marius
Hello Marius,
Without actually inspecting your sewing machines it is virtually impossible to state a value.
Your best bet would be to take your machines to someone in your area that deals with antiques. Also check on eBay to see what machines are selling for and this might give you a better idea.
David & Lin Best have a website that deals with old sewing machines. See: http://www.sewmuse.co.uk/index.htm
You can also write to them directly at:

Sorry I could not be of more help.

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.
