Regina 1952 Seamstress machine
Anyone have info on this machine? My wife had this stored in the garage
for years...inside the box is very clean, carrying box is rough on the outside. Wanting to know if this has enough value to pack it up & send to my wifes surviving daughter. It is heavy. TIA |

A google search turned up a similar machine offered at a Goodwill store three years ago for U.S. $30.00. http://www.shopgoodwill.com/auctions...e-9637379.html The auction ended, it does not indicate whether the machine sold or not. None show up in an eBay search, and I don't find any collectors groups pining for that machine. Having been stored "for years" in a garage (without proper maintenance and lubrication?) does not bode well for the condition of the machine. Unless it has high sentimental value to your wife's daughter, I doubt it is worth the cost of shipping. -- Beverly http://www.ickes.us |

No Ebay presence says either "very rare" or "nobody cares". I don't think it was ever an expensive machine...at any age. Maybe good for a donation. |

If your daughter loves it, it would probably be worth shipping, one cannot put a price on memories. Good luck, -- Beverly http://www.ickes.us |
