After my mother passed away I was sorting through some of her things and came upon this old Singer sewing machine. It's serial # begins with G6910 and the motor has a plate which reads BT7 and below that is the #926296. It has a foot pedal and an electrical cord and it's encased in an aqua blue carrying case. From the research I've done I think it was made in the 1920's. I don't know much else about it and would appreciate any feedback. I have no idea when or where my mother acquired it but I would guess she had it for at least 60 years.
1910 and a model 17.
PS I think it was originally a treadle machine and converted later.
Did you make the determination on it's age based on the photo and the serial #? Also, is it considered rare or is it a pretty common sewing machine? Any ideas on how I determine it's value?
This is a model 128 with La Vencedora decals. It's part of the batch G- 6903821 6928820, model 128, 25,000 machines commissioned March 25 1919. The current case and foot control are not original. I don't think it was a treadle, possibly a hand crank.
