Where do you go to appraise a tabletop Singer sewing machine 1940?
I have a treadle sewing machine from the 1920's and found a serial number on it and 'Singer' made this particular sewing machine. I phoned the sewing machine company and gave them the serial number. Unfortunately, the sewing machine was not worth much (it was in working order.) You have to be very wary when dealing with companies who put out the product and also the next step is going to an antique dealer with a picture of the sewing machine and the date it was made, but again I stress, be wary. You could also put your information onto: www.google.com Do your research and see what your sewing machine is worth. Then go to an antique dealer.
