Well, as I have read on other sites, the machine itself is worth about 50.00 or what people are willing to pay. The cabinet, depending on the shape it is in can be as much as 200.00. If in perfect condition - 100 to 200 more!!. Hope this helps - if you decide to sell there are what is is worth sites - but I would be interested should you decide to part with it. lahti@willapabay.org Treadle On is a good resource that I would check out.

Vintage sewing machines are valued much like vintage automobiles. Just saying you have a Hudson sewing machine is not enough to establish the value. Several other factors must be considered: - Condition: Is it a rusty hulk, or shiny, showroom shape? - Model: Each manufacturer made several machines for different pocketbooks, just as with autos, the luxury models usually retain their value better than the utility models. - Configuration: If it is mounted in a treadle cabinet, how many drawers does the cabinet have? Counting the center drawer, it could be 3, 5, or 7 drawers. Is there any fancy carving on the cabinet, or is it pretty plain? Often, the treadle cabinet is worth more than the machine itself! - Accessories: Does the machine have its instruction manual and full complement of accessories that came with it? Are there any additional accessories that were purchased later? Then there are other issues that can affect the selling price of a vintage sewing machine: - Location: If you live in an upscale neighborhood, probably very few buyers will be interested in an average condition old sewing machine. If you live in an area with a large number of lower income families, they might want an old, reliable sewing machine to actually sew on. - Furniture value: If your machine is in a nice wood cabinet, some may be interested in it purely for its decorative value. Others will shy away because they don't have room for a cabinet or it does not match their décor. Some buyers will only want a portable model they can stash away in a closet when not in use. - Shipping: If you are only willing to sell locally, your market will be limited. If your machine is small enough to ship, listing it on Ebay might bring a quicker sale and higher price. Speaking of Ebay, that is probably the best place to research prices for old sewing machines. Look for machines of the same model and age, in the same condition. Note the accessories that come with it and see how closely your item matches the Ebay item.

How much a Singer 401A sewing machine sells for depends on a couple of factors. The first being it's general condition. A machine that's in superb mechanical and cosmetic condition will sell for much more than a tired, dirty, and biffed up one. The second factor is, what is included with the machine? Does it come with an instruction manual? Attachments? A carry case. Extra items? Also, consider shipping cost if you are buying from a distant seller. Currently a 401 in reasonably good condition, with no case, attachments or manual is selling for around $100.00 or more on eBay, plus shipping. A fine condition 401 with case, manual and attachments, around $250.00, plus shipping, and a 401 with loads (and loads) of extras recently sold on eBay for $450.00. I purchased a mint condition Singer 401A with Mint -in -box buttonhole attachment ,various fancy attachments (ruffeler, and some others,blindhem etc) instruction manual and tan sewing box with extra parts for $750.00 from eBay just over 3 years ago.
The value is truly very little unless it is in top shape and complete and in working condition. If so the value will depend upon the buyers desire for it not your perceived value. The task before you is to ensure it is complete and in working condition and that you have sought out the right buyer(s). If you are unsure of it's condition or unsure of how to locate a buyer I suggest you seek an antique dealer's opinion and allow them to sell it for a finder's fee.
