I have an old Singer. The only number I can see is on a small gold plate. EF123093. Any idea of it's value?

Vintage sewing machine:
- Your sewing machine serial number EF123093 was manufactured in 1911.
- You can determine this by a serial number look up by Singer: cf.ltkcdn.net/.../235-Antique-Singer-Sewing-Machines...
- Here you will see the serial number starting with E and the F reference. Go down to the number and it says 1911.
- According to Singer the value of your machine is determined by the condition of the machine, and the desirability of this model.
- Singer suggests that you have your machine looked at and appraised by an Appraiser.
- You can take your machine to an antique store and see if they will give you a value to buy this machine.
- Now take this value and double it and this will give you the retail value of your machine.
- Also look in the store and see if they have a machine that is similar to yours.
- Ask the price and how long it has been on sale in the store.
- You will need to determine how many months and every 3 months that it sits in the store it looses value by half.
- Selling online will be difficult because you'll have to include shipping and handling costs. Shipping an older sewing machine is quite expensive.
