Old Singer - need info

Old Singer - need info
My daughter came into possession of an old singer - when I check with the Singer web site, all I can tell is that it is a 1955 model but can't find out anything else. It's Model #EK962301. Does anyone know anything about it and what kind of value it might have if she wants to sell it and are there quilters that use this model??? and if they sew with it, how do they like it. It looks to be in very good condition & has the case too.
Thanks for any info you can provide.

Your machine is a 99K allotted on Nov 23, 1955. As for what its worth, anywhere between $1 and $1,000,000. In other words whatever your market or area will pay. To be worth any real value it would have to be rare and this 99K isn't, there were 50,000 allotted that run. The 99's are also very common.

You can research your area on Craigs List or closed auctions on ebay. I would bet you find it's easier to give the machine to someone who'll refurb. and use it then to go to the hassle of selling it and making $20. Vintage sewing machines don't sell for much generally unless they're rare (this one is not), in great working condition and have been fully serviced and are operational.

You can look on Singerco and find a manual. IMHO they are a great little machine. Do have it serviced and then use it. The Singer 99 is what I started my DGD out on - she moved on. When the girls stay here they go to my little HC 99 for everything even though I have others set up for them to test out.

It's such a cute machine. I doubt I'd ever be able to sell it for much more than I paid for it, though. Mine was one of I think 50,000 released, so they really aren't rare. And the 99K's were made for decades so there must be thousands of them still kicking around.
