cyberbully Posted March 25, 2021 Share Posted March 25, 2021 (edited) Should I buy this. I have no clue if it works, but I can make it work.... But are there only certain models of these things that are sought after...i mean, for 50 bucks, I'd buy it just to 0lay with it, but I'm wondering if this woman is truly a fool.

Sieg67 Posted March 25, 2021 Share Posted March 25, 2021 We had an old one that used a foot pedal. I don't see one in that picture so it's either missing or it's electric. I don't know much about sewing machines so I don't know if electric ones were available during that time period. But if it works, go for it.

I assume it's electric since it says early 1900...which mean that mfer could be well into the 1940s....It just reminds me of my grandmothers and my mom was sick when my cousin burned down the shed with all my grandmas shit in it...including that sewing machine. I just kinda think if I can restore it, it'll be a nice gift. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scoobdog Posted March 25, 2021 Share Posted March 25, 2021 I'm not an expert, but I think early electric machines are fairly common on the antique market, so $50 sounds about right depending on the condition. You'll have to see the serial number to know if its a rare model or a specialty machine (like ones used for leather) which might be worth more. As to restoring it, that's a fairly specialized thing in of itself, so it would have to be really rare to be worth the time and effort to get it running again. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scoobdog Posted March 25, 2021 Share Posted March 25, 2021 I think the last sewing machine my mom bought was.... $3k, I think. Those fuckers are like miniature computers, and that one one was capable of quilting. The average unit is still in the $70-$200 range, which makes more sense as an actual practical device.

After a bit of looking and showing it to some older folks, it's trash....once they went electric, they were crap until they were modernized...so they can keep it. And at the end of the day, I just bought my mother a 55 inch tv that's still in the box because she refuses to get rid of that 50 year old entertainment center with enough room for a 27 inch crt, so this monster would just sit there on her house...she doesn't have a garage or storage so fuck it....doesn't even cover how I would have gotten it to her Edited March 25, 2021 by André Toulon 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
