THIS ITEM BELONGED TO GREAT GRANPARENTS...GREAT GRANDFATHER WAS AN AUCTIONER AND HE PURCHASED WITH OTHER ANTIQUE ITEMS AT AUCTION HOUSE.  BEEN IN MY FAMILY FOR ABOUT 100 YEARS. LOOKING TO GET VALUE AND POSSIBLY SELL THIS ITEM.

I would love to know the age and value of this chair.  I have a pair of them and can not find any information on them at all. 

I looked up this Vintage Singer Sewing Machine in table which was made in 1900, the year they started the single letter prefix serial numbers. It is in very good condition! It has 4 drawers (2 on each side) and the machine closes up into the table and the foot pedal/pully system is in working condition! 

I work for a small company that buys and sells restaurant equipment. A few weeks ago I made a deal with a guy, part of which was trading in what he described to me as a, "Older grinder that I use for making sausage every now and then, it works great!” Long story short, sight unseen I gave him some trade in credit; and my delivery guys brought back this gem… At first I wasn’t quite sure what to think, but the more I look into it the more I’m intrigued. I have contacted Hobart, and after giving them the serial number, a very nice lady called me back and said, “The only information that I can find on this unit is that it was manufactured in 1923. It was originally a Peanut Machine, used for grinding/making peanut butter.” Honestly that’s more than I expected them to be able to find about it, but it just makes me wonder… How rare is this particular item? I’ve been searching around the internet for a while now, and I can’t seem to find anything similar; nothing with a serial number in the 200,000 range like this one. Anyway, I uploaded some pictures that I took of it quickly the other day. I’ll take some better ones when I get to work on Monday. It’s sort of hard to tell in the pictures, but it still has the original red paint; with this great aged patina. I’m really trying to figure out if there is any sort of antique value, any collectors for this sort of thing? I can tell you that it’s worth about $500-$600 as a working grinder; it is older, but obviously it can stand the test of time… I would like to see this find a good home, perhaps as a display/decorative piece that can still work just as hard as it did 80 years ago… Is there a market for something like that? If so, what sort of price should I be asking? I thank you in advance for any help, and wish you all the best! If you are interested or have any questions, go ahead and send a message to my work email; [email protected]
