old foot pedal singer sewing machine, how much could i sell it for?
November 23rd, 2009 | by admin |i have an old singer sewing machine. its in good condition. Its the kind that has a foot pedal to operate it. the only thing thats wrong with it is they rope that is used to turn the wheel is broke. otherwise its in good conditon. any info would be great. thanks!
yes it is a treadle. Model 56. I found out it was made may 22 1929. Does anyone know who would be interested in buying it? how should i go about selling it?
If it has a big foot plate of cast iron that you rock back and forth to power the machine, it’s called a treadle machine, and what you can get for it will depend entirely on how good of condition it’s in and what the local market is — treadle machines are very difficult and expensive to ship. $10-200 would be my guess, and more likely to be in the $30-100 range.
If it has a foot controller and works electrically, it’s probably worth much less unless it’s one of the highly sought after models like the 201 or 221.
Take the serial number and look here to find out what model you actually have:
