I have looked everywhere for about 2 days on figuring out how much to get rid of this sewing machine I found for... I just want an educated opinion versus I've been getting alot of "ummm welll idk can't look it up never heard of it" from antique dealers around me.

Serial Number 5B 948926A

OK I consider myself fairly well educated on vintage machines. .But your responses aren't unusual. Many manufacturers would sell batches of sewing machine to anyone with enough money and they could put their own name on the machine. They are called badged machines .and they turn up with a fair amount of regularity. I know other hardware stores who put their names on. If you could put a picture ( make it under 2mb) it would help us further. We could maybe tell you who actually made it, How do you happen to have a date?

If you found it and want to be rid of it, why don't you donate it to Goodwill or other thrift store.

"How Much Is My Machine Worth?" Question Answered Post #1 & Post #8 in particular.
If you find an antique store that says it worth $$$ ask them if they will buy it for half of that amount.
