Title: What model are these Singer sewing machines?
Post by: Cambria on June 10, 2015, 07:16:30 PM

There are 3 Singer sewing machines for sale by someone and was wondering if someone could tell the model, year, or how much they are worth. Any information is very helpful.

I'm not 100% sure because they don't mention it in the ad, but the first picture I think is electric and the other 2 are treadle. I thought this site was pretty cool to identifying what model: http://www.sandman-collectibles.com/id-singer-machines.htm#10
I think I'll just need to see the machines in person.

I'll probably just buy them. They're asking $10 for the first picture and $20 each for the other 2 pictures.

Is that a good deal?

The first one may be just a parts machine !! Looks like it may be missing a few pieces !! But if the other two are in reasonable working order,,even though you may need to replace the belts,I think its a good deal !! Many people now are looking for good working treadle machines and I think Singer still makes all the belts ect !! I learned to sew on an old Singer machine quite similar to those !! Made a fine stitch !! Just watch your fingers,, I accidently sewed mine to a dolls dress !! Not fun !!  :D
