Where doe a sewing machine needle fall when it breaks?
Strange question, but anyway if the needle breaks off with no thread attached, it could go flying off any which-way. Check the floor around the machine and the table on which the machine is placed...and your lap, and anything else in the vacinity.
If it breaks during sewing (that is, with thread attached through it's tip), it will likely remain attached and end up thrashing around in the bobbin holder. It could also end up there with no thread attached, so, in either case, check the bobbin holder first.
Sewing needles are almost always made of steel, which is a magnetic alloy of iron, which is, itself, magnetic. Sometimes we put a bowl of water on the table, rub and tap a sewing needle with one end of a permanent magnet for a few seconds, float the needle on the water (a hint of oil on the needle might help), and construct a homemade magnetic compass.

How much is your singer sewing machine serial number g9262815 worth?
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.
