According to ISMACS, her machine is one of 2000 built on September 6, 1939.

I don't have much history on my sewing machine, but this link is where I had dated it also.

I have a Singer 132K6 sewing machine that has been sitting around for many years not being used.  I've been trying to decide if I should sell it, since it is just taking up space or if I should just hold onto it since it's a neat old machine.  I was just wondering if anyone knows if they are worth anything or if there is any interest in one.  It did sew nice when I did use it.  I would appreciate if anyone had some more information about this machine.  Thank you for your help!

Hi Anna, I’m looking at a machine ATM that looks exactly the same era as this one, do you happen to know the age of yours? Thks 

Wow, 79 years old :) Thks for that

it looks like I’ve bought it anyway, can’t wait to get it home and use it.

Yours looks to be in really good condition?? Mine no longer has any writing/signage left on it, just black

Angebe,  I'm sure you will enjoy the your new to you machine.  I've been messing with mine a bit lately, since I've been thinking about selling it.  I know a lot more about sewing machines now than when we first got this about 10 years ago, so I can actually sew a lot better with it now.  It makes a nice tight stitch and will sew a pretty good range of leather thickness.

Hi, the Singer 132K6 was more popular in Britain as that's where they were made, other Singers were made in the States and were more numerous.   However they are a great hard working machine, much sought after in Australia for horse rug and tack repairs.   We buy and sell them and a good one would sell for about $1750 Aussie dollars, that's a smaller figure in the States though.   The have a kick foot that works quite well but no reverse.  If you need the manual let me know I email them out free.

Thks for replies peeps

im so excited, can’t wait to pick it up. Now to figure out what I can start making :) I’m sure I’ll be busy doing rug repairs etc. My toyota handles the tough jobs but this will do so much more. 

Singermania, Thks for the offer, I would love the manual. Do you want me to message you my email?

Hi folks

I am new to the site and have enjoyed all the comments. Located in eastern Canada, we also have a 132K-6 that has been in the family for 30 years. my sister used it mostly for horse chaps and I now use it for all heavy sewing on the farm, coverall, covers, jacket repair, etc. I keep it well oiled but not sure if I'm getting all the the locations, even though I turn it over and clean up under the uint as well.

Im mechanically able so the possibility of acquiring a manual for operation, maintenance and adjustment excites me. I'm shy of some of the download areas for manuals an would welcome  a copy of a manual. I have been able to view a parts catologue but that's it

thanks

Chuck

I know its an old topic, but hay" Singer 132 k6 they still hold a place in my garage covered in sheets like all my other machines, if I had my way they would all be in the house if I had the room,there`s just something about the old cast singers that grab me 

I also have a scares Singer 45 k1  here in UK England, iv not seen one for sale in years ,but there must be some, my misses trying to get me to sell some of my machines, but just can`t let them go,

The 45 k1 has a bigger fly wheel than the 132 k6 I assume to punch through heavier material,

But my 132 k6 is does have all the decor but its starting to loose some paint in places where the hands would frequently touch and don`t know if to repaint, I have seen these machines go for £200 - £700 over here, but the ones that demand high price , have been repainted re furbished on a clean tidy table fitted with servo motor, sold by a site well known for refurbishment machine and painted with different color from the original, 

I suppose the price depends on how bad you want to pay near the asking price and if you been waiting years to get hold of one, and the country ,its being sold in. 

Over seas from Britain they seem to go for more than they do here, I think they were made here so hence the price asked,but the rarer they get that will up ,

There was two for sale here , two  different sellers on E bay looked pretty nice,  I think one had original motor may of been a cast table, the other one the bidding only went up to £30+ pounds ,but he never sold it for that, shameful really bidders don`t see what it really should be worth,

I would of paid his asking price and a little more than £130.00 if I had the room and a car to travel,

but you can`t have them all,
