Members Beener Posted June 8, 2016 Members Report Posted June 8, 2016 Looks to be a 31-15 without looking to hard at it but you can run the serial number.

mikesc Posted June 8, 2016 Report Posted June 8, 2016 31..( spent a lot of time looking a pics of 31s the last week ).. agreed, probably a 31-15.. the wagon wheels are worth quite a bit ( like a $1000.00 or even more each ) to an antique dealer..we sell our old ones to your antique dealers Quote "Don't you know that women are the only works of Art" ..

Members TheCobblersDtr Posted June 8, 2016 Members Report Posted June 8, 2016 I am still using a 31-15 in my shop! It works very well! I have Mechanics keep my old machines running, the key is oiling them and keeping them covered!! Quote
Members brmax Posted June 8, 2016 Members Report Posted June 8, 2016 Seen the wheels also, good eye Mikesc Couldn't resist chiming in "get the wheels also", re sell or keep they will bring as much or more as they have many many times I seen at sales. Or just points for you good day there Floyd Quote
mikesc Posted June 8, 2016 Report Posted June 8, 2016 Floyd..I'm thinking that where there are wagon wheels and a 31-15, and tractors in the background, there may be harness etc..the leather may be dried out and no use by now, but the old buckles and fixations and maybe old leather working tools ( or carpentry, wheelwrights tools ) ..I'd ( if I lived near ) go for a look, ready to deal for more than just the machine Yep, "get the wheels"..and, as getting the wheels and sewing machine would need the pickup, may as well take it home full as only half full Quote "Don't you know that women are the only works of Art" ..

Members Darren Brosowski Posted June 11, 2016 Members Report Posted June 11, 2016 The machine looks "tired" at best but the base looks good. In that condition $50 Quote
