If you love sewing collectibles and are trying to build up your collection, one of the best additions you can find is an antique Singer sewing machine. These machines can enhance any personal collection and may even be the focal point in your display. Before you run out and buy an antique Singer sewing machine however, there are a few things to consider.
First, you will need to take a look at the overall condition of the machine. If you don’t mind something that is a little worn, then you will have plenty of options. In some cases, having an antique Singer sewing machine that does show some wear will make a collection more interesting. However, if you are looking for a model that is also valuable as a collector’s item, it is a good idea to make sure that it is in the best condition possible.
Next, you will need to find out how the antique Singer sewing machine is powered. Early electric models are very valuable, but by far, many collectors look for the machines that were entirely powered by the user, usually through a foot pedal. There are a lot of reasons to get this type of sewing machine, especially if you love to sew but need to have a backup. Even if the power goes out, you’ll still be able to use your machine if it is not electric.
If the antique Singer sewing machine is powered by electricity, it is vital to see what condition the power cord is in. If you plan to actually use the machine, then this is absolutely paramount. Many older collectibles that still have their original cords can be fire hazards, despite the fact that they are valuable. The one exception to this rule would be if you just plan to display the machine and have no plans to actually use it in the future.
It is also a good idea to ask the seller of the antique Singer sewing machine if the machine is in good working order. You’d be surprised by just how many 100 year old machines still function as well as the day they were made. Again, if you will be using the machine, it’s a good idea to get one that works. Finding people to repair antique Singer sewing machine is not easy in some areas and you’re better served by having one that already works.
Last but not least, you’ll need to know where to find antique Singer sewing machines. The best place to look is at local garage sales or at second hand stores, especially if you can find one from an owner that is serious about sewing. You can also find many great deals at online auction sites for antique Singer sewing machines. Keep an eye out whenever you’re out and about or just searching the internet. You never know what kind of gem you’ll be able to uncover if you keep checking back at these sites or in your local area.

Would you be interested in buying a model 99K Singer Sewing machine? According to the Singer website it was made on May 22, 1956. I don’t have a case or anything with it. Please write me back.
Chris
I would like to get some help on how much a sewing machine I have might go for. It is portable, in a wooden box w/key, black w/red & gold designs, Queen in upper part & Foreign by the hand crank. If you could help me find out what it is worth and I have another one of my Grandmother. It is a full Singer with the large peddle near the floor in a wooden stand and wrought iron.
Thank you,
CS
