I'd like to know how much my item is worth (aka how much I can sell it for). It was my great great grandmother's.
* Singer sewing machine table with pop-up machine. * The machine sits on the original cast iron treadle base and wooden cabinet top with fold over edge and four storage drawers.* This particular model's serial number is 16473704, which means it was manufactured in 1899, making it 118 years old! * Included are the original attachments and the original Singer wood folding Puzzle Box that they came in. Some of the attachments are missing but I tried to place the existing ones in the correct places in the puzzle box. I have also included a picture of various items that I found in the drawers of the table - they may or may not be worth anything, I don't know.* Some slight scratches, marks and discoloration commensurate with age, but both the machine and the table can be refurbished. The finish needs cleaning but I have left it as is because I don't want to damage it by using the wrong cleaner. The gold "Singer" and Sphinx decals on the machine are in good shape with little wear. The machine needs a new belt and a little TLC to get it in good working condition. Thank you!

Re: Antique 1899 Singer treadle sewing machine in table
Singers like this were produced in vast numbers and there is not much demand for them except from collectors. We often see comparable Singers sell at auction for under $150.00
