Well thank you all for the replies. I'm 31 years old and I have no place to put this machine. What is the model of this? I have tried looking it up but I can't find an exact match. Thank you

Brandon, you have a treasure here and I hope you decide to keep your grandmother's sewing machine. The smiles it will bring to you over the course of your lifetime are worth far more than the $25+ you could sell it for. A little story here - my dear grandma passed 17 years ago, one month shy of her 90th birthday. She was an amazing woman, well-travelled, well-educated. She collected typewriters! Yes, you know where this is going! I have a small home office in which my husband made several extra deep shelves just to showcase grandma's typewriters. I made clear vinyl covers for each one of them to keep them dust free but visible. Surrounded by her treasures, I am most happy in that room!

with all of this said (I agree)..... You can probably get $200-$300 if you did a full restore, $100-$150 for it if you clean it up a little. if not, $50-100

On a personal note- My Mother sold my Grandmas sewing machine about 15 to 20 years ago. I'm really disappointed to this day.

Is there anyone else in your family that would like to have it?
