I acquired most of them before this craze started, so 25 years ago, just like the way they look.
Your Singer machines can be dated by serial # on the following site:

Sorry, I don't know how to date the other models.

Your Franklin is probably made by White. White made a Franklin Rotary and a Franklin VS that Sears sold. Davis also made a Franklin in 1911, which was a clone of the 27/127 with elaborate decals. Kathie in this shop has one of those Franklins!
