    In my part of the world, mostly $0-50, usually around $10-20 for an electric straight stitcher that is not one of the cult models like Singer 221/222

    I found one from the 1920s (no specific year) still in the cabinet selling for $495.

    Take it to an appraiser or antique store where they will be able to give you an answer for your specific machine based on the item and exact condition.

    I could tell you it is worth thousands of dollars and that would make you feel good until you tried to sell it.

    Sorry to say, the machine may have aesthetic charm, but without a hefty investment for cleaning and parts replacement (including re-wiring to meet today’s codes) it would not be a serviceable machine.

    Have it weighed for a shipping price at Kinko’s and then list it on Ebay for $20 + shipping fees.

    The machines on Ebay – those are listing prices, not the selling price as they are not selling – http://cgi.ebay.com/MARTHA-WASHINGTON-SEWING-MACHINE-RESTORABLE-WORKS_W0QQitemZ330348056496QQcmdZViewItemQQptZLH_DefaultDomain_0?hash=item4cea474fb0
