I've just moved intone Nanas house and I've found this old sewing machine and wondered if its worth any money?
It's still in decent condition and still actually works!

Does anyone work in the antique business that can give me an idea of its value before I take it to the skip

Many thanks

It's not worth very much at all, sadly, especially if it is one that is in a box as opposed to a treadle. Even treadles in good nick might only raise £50. But try not to dump it- put in in the yellow paper (stuff for sale) or preloved or something so it can go to a good home.

As an antiques dealer I can tell you that these are very much in vogue right now and highly collectable. A mint model can be worth anything up to £500.

Sometimes I get a bit over involved whilst watching Vintage Antiques Roadshow.

If I remember correctly, there was a bit of a fashion a few years ago of people binning the actual sewing machine but using the stand for various garden uses

In reply to Joel Perkin: sorry for the delay in replying. It's in good condition but wouldn't say great. All parts stil working etc.
I managed to have a look online at the value and its looking like upto £100 so ill probably keep it if I can find some use for it. The iron legs alone and treadle would look cool outside if I could convert it into something

Time to get the thinking cap on
