Hello,
I have a State Sewing Machine and wondering if there is a market for this? There is a bobbin box as well. Any information is appreciated. Thank you.

Hi, JDSwift. :-)
Somebody else posted a State Sewing Machine Company machine here quite a few years back, so we'll both learn from it:

Yours doesn't look exactly like that other one, but it does seem to be another Singer Model 15 'clone' in that I don't see a tension disc assembly on the front, but can just barely see something protruding from the faceplate side that is probably one (a tension disc assembly on the faceplate is a defining feature of Singer model 15 machines and their clones).
Here is an instruction manual for generic HA-1 15 class machines:

As to whether there is a market for something like this, here is a piece on the value of and market for vintage sewing machines written by a member of the staff at the International Sewing Machine Collectors' Society:

Good luck. :-)
