Singer 97-6 Vintage Leather Sewing Machine

[KellyGottus]

Am I allowed to ask what I should price this at? It is a vintage 1944 leather/cobbler singer sewing machine that I am looking to sell. They only made 250 of them and I don’t even know where to start if anyone has any suggestions on where to get started on selling this?

@KellyGottus

When you do place the ad in the aforementioned forum, include your location, asking price (or tell them to make an offer), condition and whether it is for pickup only, or if delivery/shipping is available. Take some small resolution photos and include them with the ad. Good luck!

Since you haven't told us the make and model number, we can't help with any pricing. It is only worth what an interested buyer is willing to pay. Cobbler machines is a broad term. It might be a Singer, Adler, Bradbury, or Claes. Some are a dime a dozen, others fetch more. Some have parts available and others have none. A working machine fetches more than a non-functioning antique display piece. These facts influence what buyers will pay.

Doesn't the title of the message say "Singer 97-6"?
