We have a 1919 to 1921 singer sewing machine with 6 drawer cabinet, we think it is oak, serial no# g8303748?

Question

all decals are on machine and seems to be in very good condition, legs are metal with rollers, the instruction manual, is in very good condition. they're are 2 original bobbins , and a factory belt still in the box, never used. as far as we know it has been in the family since new. could you give an approximate value for this machine ? we believe it to be a model 127, because there is no hand crank. thanks any info would be appreciated.

Answer 1

Maybe not much more than $200 , the last time I checked.

Answer 2

don't know the value. I have one from my Mom that is about 1939.

Answer 3

Singer's records say it's a 127, part of a lot of 40,000 allocated in 1920 to the Eilizabeth, NJ factory.  Value will be dependent on condition and type... treadle and handcrank machines seem to be going for more than comparable electric machines at the moment.

Might talk to the nice folks at ISMACs or the yahoo group WeFixIt.
