The "A" reference in Singer's model numbers pertain to the location of manufacture. For most models, A = Anderson, South Carolina USA. For the 500 machine most were made in Elizabethport, NJ including the "A's" The only difference between a 500 and 500A or 400 and 400A or 301 and 301A, etc. is that the "A" denotes manufacturing plant, whether Anderson, SC or elsewhere.
Older sewing machines are not very valuable. In years past, almost every home had one. Now, older sewing machines are going on the market more and more often, as fewer people sew their own clothes. Even the very old machines are not very valuable because they are heavy and large, and there just aren't enough buyers for them. The exception is the Singer Featherweight, a smaller machine made by Singer and these continue to bring prices in the hundreds at auction. The serial number is not the most important piece of information about your machine. The model name or number is helpful, as is the year it was made. However, the most important information a potential buyer will want to know is the condition of the machine. Does it work? Is any part broken or badly worn? Highest prices are for the machines in tip top condition, like new, like they were hardly used. Broken machines have much lower values.
Your sewing machine was made in 1924 in Elizabeth, New Jersey I do not know the value of the machine, but I can tell you it depends on the condition of the machine, the condition of the cabinet, and the buyer. A collector might pay top dollar, but most collectors want old, old machines.
