Does anyone have any knowledge about the 1948 kenmores. Model 117 959? Just got a call. She's selling her mothers old machine with maple cabinet for 180.00. She says it's in mint condition. Isn't that alot for a kenmore?? Or should I wait and get a diff brand?

I don't collect old machines, but that sounds like a lot. Many of the people here have gotten machines this age for around $50 or less through Craigs List etc. You can always 'gently' make an offer of less.
|
I have about 8 old kenmore and singers, and i have not paid more than $5. for any of them, these are all portables tho, not in cabinets. Kenmores were great machines.
|
Wow 5.00 in mint condition? I want something inside a cabinet. She said both the machine and cabInet were mint. I got this off of craigslist.
|
My suggestion would be to go look at it and see if you like it. As far as price, just depends on what one is willing to pay. My mom had a Kenmore she bought new in 1952. What a workhorse. Good luck what ever you decide.
|
She is asking way to much.
|
How much is it worth?
|
I think that to high I see singer feather weights for that or less
|
How much is it worth to you is the question. But, if it were me I'd offer $30 if it's a mint machine and cabinet and keep looking if she doesn't take it. There are a ton of older machines on the market.
