    Default Can You Give Me Info on this Machine?

    A friend has this White sewing machine that belonged to his great grandma. The date 1927 is printed on the machine.

    He is looking to sell the machine (with cabinet) but doesn't know what a good price would be. Anyone out there with knowledge of the machine and what it might go for?

    Thanks in advance for your help.

    Just happened upon this - you may want to see if it sells. "local Pickup" on ebay usually means Craigslist pricing.

    In my area, a cabinet and machine like that, even in very nice shape as yours is, probably would not sell for more than $50. Location makes all the difference, and I have no idea what pricing is in the PNW

    Does it have any of the feet, bobbins, bobbin case, needles, or a manual? Does it work? Is the wiring in good shape?

    All of that stuff adds value.

    Thanks to all for the info. I am passing it on to my friend. He was in the $50 ballpark but I wanted to check to see if the machine had more value than that. I quilt but I don't know a thing about old machines. So again, thanks.
