Antique sewing machine help!?
Well, I don't know anything about sewing machines. But I think it works. Serial number
R1310103. I would like to know how much it's worth... Thank you all.
Update : I forgot to mention "singer"
Update 2: Thanks for answers. Singer serial number shows it's dated 1902. But unfortunately, I couldn't find any similar one eBay...
The value of anything cannot be provided without close examination. Age, wear and tear, etc are only a few factors involved in determining value. You need to lug down to your antique shops and have those experts look at it. You waste your time seeking that kind of info here.
From what I found, it is one of only 20 made in January/February 1902
It's a Singer 28, one of 125000 commissioned July/December 1903 (might not have been manufactured until 1903) according to http://www.ismacs.net/singer_sewing_mach... If it works, is in good cosmetic condition, has the full set of attachments, and is a treadle or handcrank, I'd expect to get about $100 or so on private sale in my part of the world, PNW US. If it's electric or electrified, in poorish shape consmetically, or needs more than a minor amount of work to get it going again, $0-50.

Value is what a willing buyer pays a willing seller for something, so what's currently in vogue (Singer 221s and 222s went for several hundred dollars about 10-15 years ago, vastly disproportionate to their intrinsic worth or quality as a sewing machine) and where you are in the world greatly influences "value".
Too many possible variables to give you a firm answer.
Go to the singer website and check the serial number for the year and where it was made. Look on the auction sites like eBay for one that matches yours. That should give you a good price to work from.
You would have to get an appraisal from an antique dealer.
