Default Antique Singer Treadle Sewing Machine in Alaska!

I have a VERY old singer treadle in an oak cabinet with all the cast iron parts beneath. Do you have any idea what it's worth and how I can sell it? It has not been converted to electricity and does not seem to have any additional parts or manuals, or bobbins etc with it. I'm going to try to post pics here, but don't know if I'll be successful. Any thoughts, ideas, suggestions from you will be greatly appreciated.

No picture, have you found the model number? Do the wheels turn, needle go up and down? Some are only worth as much as the buyer will offer. Others around 75-100 dollars. There are very few that are worth more.

I have my mother's antique Singer treadle my dad traded a shotgun for in 1917. I learned to sew on it. My daughter is trying to sell it now.
