The majority of old sewing machines never have near the value most people think they do, you have to keep in mind that they really are just outmoded appliances and were produced in the hundreds of thousands. In most areas of the country these 'Labour Savers' of our Great-Grandmothers day sell in the $145.00- 160.00 range in refinished condition, mainly for their decorative features.
