Is this ‘vintage’ sewing machine worth anything?

It appears to be a Singer 28 based on the fact that the hinge pin appears to be to the left of the edge of the back slide plate. It has a manual tension release which doesn't have much space below it (the 27 has more space below it) and also the low bobbin winder - which both indicate either a 27 or a 28 not a 127 or 128.
I'm guessing that the back inspection plate is probably a pear shape rather than a circle shape.
Janey - Neat people never make the exciting discoveries I do.
Could we get a better picture of the badge on the black machine (to which this is in response to)? The more I look at it the more something isn't quite what I think it should be.

It would be a fine project for a hobbyist to get to work on to see if it could be made to sew.
From what I recall, if it's a full sized machine it would weigh at least 30 pounds with the base and cover. Perhaps a bit more. If it is to be shipped, it will have to be packed safely which would add a fair bit amount to the weight.
