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.
If the serial number has a letter prefix or suffix, the machine was made in 1900 or after. In this case, the "H" denotes that the sewing machine was made in Elizabeth, New Jersey, and the numbers mean it was made in 1906. The Singer Web site has this information. The worth is very dependent on its condition and its setting.
Because of the popularity of these machines and the excellent quality, many are still in use today. The value to collectors will depend entirely on how well the machine has been maintained, and what accessories you have. From what I have seen, no one is paying much more than $100 for them, even in the best condition. There is an excellent forum for singer treadle sewing machine owners on about.com where you can find a lot of information about your machine and share ideas with other owners. See the link I have provided.

There are a number of fake Hello Kitty sewing machines on the market. The company that actually manufactures the Hello Kitty sewing machine is "JANOME".
I think it might be a New Home Machine serial number. Here is the page to reference http://www.ismacs.net/nh/dates.html If it's not there, that site also has pages for other brands' serial numbers as well. This is the main page with links to brands. http://www.ismacs.net/gallery.html Hope this helps.
Please don't put sewing machine questions in "Bands and Artists".
