Book is a wise purchase for collectors or library reference, Mar 24 1998
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Antique American Sewing Machines: A Value Guide (Paperback)
This book is an invaluable referenece for the serious collector of antique American sewing machines. It covers machines manufactured from the late 19th century up to the Singer Featherweight 221. Originally published in 1992, the prices given may be out of date by now. At any rate, the figures given are not precise, but are ballpark amounts, designed to give the would-be purchaser a price range to work within. Another reason to choose this book is the fact that it contains many clear black and white photos of early models, which will help the novice collector in the search for the perfect machine at the right price. I also recommend this book highly for public library reference collections (which is where I found it...in my public library!)

Field Guide to Antique Sewing Machines, Jan 30 2002
By drj "drj" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Antique American Sewing Machines: A Value Guide (Paperback)
This book, though outdated, gives a tremendous amount of detail on the models, manufacturers, serial numbers for dating a machine, and suggested values. Although two reviewers have stated the prices are out of line, I personally find - both online through EBay and offline in multiple flea markets, junque shops and antique stores - that they are a good rule of thumb, if not a little low on special machines. Featherweight Singers are included, although not as old, they are in heavy demand by crafters and collectors alike.

Nice pictures, but that's all ...., Nov 18 1999
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Antique American Sewing Machines: A Value Guide (Paperback)
The values he places on machines are ridiculous and of absolutely no use to any serious collector. Lots of wishful thinking on the author's part as to the scarcity and value of any of these machines!
Listmania!
