my grandmother has a similar machine...will post if i find out anything!
Using your machine number the info you are looking for is: Your machine class number is 99, There was 10,000 allotted, It was(as I like to say) born June 17th., 1936 in Elizabeth, New Jersey. I hope that gives you some info on your machine. I can't help you out on it's value. Some one would have to look at it.
I have my grandmother's Singer treadmill machine and wanted to find out the year. Since I was told she bought it new when my uncle was born aroun 1924, I had good idea when it was made. I believe I went to to a website on treadle machines and was directed to Singer.com. The id #AE179398 should be listed there with the year.
hope this helps.
