SOURCE: what is the value of my admiral sewing machine

Hi. The value of any sewing machine is purely subjective. Sewing machines were made by the millions and the ones made prior to about 1970 were generally extremely well engineered, constructed of metal, and--with just basic, routine maintenance-- will last for many decades. All my regular sewing is done on machines that range in age from 50 to 90 years.
Machines like yours aren't at all rare (sorry) but there are people out there who do like the old machines. You can look on Ebay to get a feel for how much people are willing to pay for machines like yours.
Sometimes a machine, such as Singer model 221 Featherweight, will become valuable. Quilters love this type of Singer because it's small, lightweight/portable, and has a marvelous stitch. One in excellent (meaning showroom) condition might sell for $400 or $500......but I could find any number of them at garage sales for $25.00 or less! (And there are lots of sewers out there who don't like them because all they do is straight stitch.)
This probably isn't what you want to hear. . . .

Ew sewing machine with no model number. the serial number is TH 9703516 seiko japan

most older (pre-70's) "made in Japan" sewing machines were actually "badged" Singers (they often have the word "deluxe" in the name).. thus parts from Singer usually fit them, Singer manuals apply to them.. I've only seen badged model 66 and model 15 although they made a lot of them .. Foes your's look like a singer and if so where is the tensioner on the front of the nose or on yhe front of the machine facing you? on the nose is a 15, front is a 66 or a variation of 127.. drop in bobbin is a 66, long shuttle type bobbin is a 127... hope that helps ..

Who made sewing machines branded Baldwin? I'm unable to find any information. Can't find a model number or manufacturer label.

Hello, Susan -

Apparently, Baldwin sewing machines were made in Japan by the Precision Sewing Machine Company:

That is all the information I could find.

Best wishes.

What are the serial numbers on modern age sewing machines made in Japan? It's metallic blue, I believe it was made in the 1950's

There is no Make or Model name or even a model number? Japan cloned a lot of sewing machines for many years--even machines sold by JC Penney, Montgomery Ward, etc.

I am looking for a Sewing Machine Manuel for a Sears Roebuck

Do you have a model number? That looks like a serial number.

Pre 1955 machines were made by companies like National Sewing Machine company. After that they were made in Japan. So maybe to help us out... you can post a picture of your machine?

I have an old Brother Sewing machine Model#A74331 made in occupied Japan how do I find out the value?

you can take it to your local sewing and vacume repair shop as THEY are the experts, but I deal in Vintage machines and they're only worth what someone will pay for them. Because of the difficulty in finding replacement parts, few working seamstresses will want them and they're usually only purchased for novelty value....... and then there's the name, sorry, it's not exactly a Rolls Royce of sewing machines. hope this helps more than it hurts.:)
