Just want to share this pic of my sewing machine. I want to know if attachments are hard to come by. The model number is 117-959. Any idea of resale value also?

There are some sellers on eBay who have the machine + accessories. You could always ask them to break up the set and sell you the accessories separately. Some are willing because a "bid" i the and is worth two in the bush (to misquote the famous saying of a bird in the hand). Here are today's listings:
www.ebay.com/
As for the value, it depends on if it is working, you have the book, and the overall condition of the cabinet.
Right now on eBay all of the machines that were listed are unsold (so the value is nothing until they sell):

You may want to watch the active sales from the first link to get SOLD prices and that will give you today's value--as long as you see an apples to apples match.
Post back what you decide! This machine is a work horse and can last you forever if well cared for!!
You will have to do a lot of checking generic vintage Kenmore accessories/parts to find items that fit your machine as many sellers will not show the numbers their items fit.
Thank you for the information. I cannot find any more numbers on the machine to complete the model number. I am contacting Sears today.
I'm not sure where they are getting numbers from but I noticed their web site shows longer numbers. I hope they can help you with that but be sure to ask about what brand it is because Kenmore just means the machine was made for Sears.
My friend has an older Kenmore and Sears supplied her with a lot of information but if you have trouble please post here as I have another place for you check (not everybody is as helpful as they could be.)
I would try Etsy and eBay. You can also put alerts on these websites. You can also put a want ad on Craigslist
mymum is a quilter and she says these machines are still fairly popular because they were built to last, and actually work
i would not offer less than $200 for it.
shipping is difficult but if you say 'pickup only' that should work well
Hi,
This is a beautiful machine and I love it! I found a place that sells sewing machine parts, and if you can't find the parts you need there, they can direct you where to look, elsewhere.
Here is the link: www.sewingpartsonline.com/
Blessings,

I just purchased what looks like this same machine today with many accessories but no Manuel which I really need. Runs smooth. I see "e6354 110 volt DC and AC 75 cycles "on back. Where do I find the model number? I need to know how to properly thread/ adjust stitches and care for it.
I have the same machine. My book has the model number as
117.95
I have your machine .I've never listed .I will take apart and send you all of it and parts .or parts u may want or need now
