Re: Antique Sewing machine

Franklin was a Sears and Roebuck brand and they were first manufactured around 1910. They were supposed to be a copy of Singer. The value of intact treadle machines varies wildly from one part of the country to the next. I have purchased them as cheaply as twenty five dollars (including the cabinet) to seventy five dollars. A really nice one in good shape with an attractive cabinet would bring about $200 here.   the value of just a machine in bad condition like this would be not much 5 -10 at the most . if it works. a almost perfect  machine brought   21 including shipping on ebay
