Male, 58
I have been buying and selling antiques (and some collectibles) for over 30 yrs. started out buying and selling to help pay for college. got a degree in business admin. and worked in managerial positions for 23 yrs. but, during this 23 yr. period I kept my sanity by continuing to sell antiques in my spare time. now that I am semi-retired, I still deal in antiques - it is in my blood. I am knowledgeable in auctioning, estate sales, online sales, direct sales, and appraisals.
I would say that it is worth keeping if you have a use for it. if not, there are numerous collectors ofSinger machines and parts. In excellent condition, the drawers, handles, iron base, and other components of the machine are probably worth around $200-300. my personal experience is that it is easier to sell the parts than the entire machine.

Sure. restored pumps are used by theme restaurants, and other businesses quite a bit. obviously, the original, unrestored, pumps are worth much more than those with reproductionparts and modern paint jobs. there are buyers for both restored and unrestored pumps. as always,the price of unrestored pumps depends on condition, condition, condition, and rarity of brand and style.

Can you provide a verbal description of the item?

I'm guessing that your reel is a model 1944 "Service". The model number (1944) is not necessarily the date it was made. Shakespeare use a two letter code on the reel to record thedate the reel was made. a mint in box Service reel would probably sell in the 25-35 dollar range on a good day.

I don't give refunds or buy back broken items. My grandmother once told me, " Nothing is free except the moon, the sun, and the stars in the sky".
