Do any of you carry insurance on your machines? and how do you come up with a value? as I don't know of anyone to appraise these. I am going to go thru and itemize the machines I have later today, with pics and serial #'s. then I can go online and try to find similar machines and sale prices, But if this one is so rare most likely won't find it. any suggestions? As for the rarities I have no idea as to what to value them at, the only thing I can think of is finding an appraiser and let them have a shot at it or go to Antiques Roadshow with said machine in tow LOL!! :lol: :lol: :lol: Billy |

The cabinet has been restained on the outside and the machine is really clean, and oily. I will have to clean before I use it to sew. Also want to connect the pitman instead of the electric motor.
Nice box of attachments that are a bit rusty. Now to read the manual. :D :D :D Thanks Billy |

anything anyone can tell me about her? got her at an auction for $15!!!! |
Will have to check out their website(antiques Roadshow)
I think that they have a list of appraisers Insurance is important as with my husbands collection if you don't have documentation,pictures and an experienced appraisal you can't get back what it's worth! and after a loss isn't the time to find out! obviously the auctioneers im my area will be no help as they saw no value in this machine! thanks |
Lisa your cat on the treadle is adorable!

I am sure the look was due to me paying too much attention to the machine instead of her. So Billy you must be prepared to contend with that when you look at the machines in the house. They don't go in the garage so you will be safe there. Lisa |
