Hi, I have inherited this vintage singer sewing machine from my grandmother and I am looking to get some information of the value, history and how to find the right buyer for such items. What I have learned thus far is that it is a Model 27, made on January 27th, 1900 in New Jersey. It is one of 25,000 made at that time. I do not know how accurate this information given is so if anyone would be kind enough to help me I would really appreciate it,
cheers

If you got the information from the Singer site it is the correct information on your machine . The value all depends on condition of the machine and the cabinet . Also on how much someone is willing to pay . I bought a machine like this that was in much worst shape just for the refinished treadle cabinet it was in for $200.00 . I put a better collectable machine into the cabinet . Sometimes around here you can find machines like this at auctions for $25.00 or less . It just all depends . The decals on your machine appears to be in great shape which makes it worth more to a collector .
