    How much a 50-year-old Singer sewing machine is worth varies. The model, age and condition all impact the potential selling price of collectible sewing machines. Pieces made 50 years ago would be considered vintage, and selling prices are typically in the hundreds or thousands of dollars for vintage models; machines in good working order are usually worth more than those needing repairs and restorations. A certified appraiser or knowledgeable antique dealer can examine your sewing machine and give you an estimate as to how much it may be worth. Explore a range of antique and vintage sewing machines on 1stDibs.
