There are several varieties but all are quite collectible. Condition is a huge factor in older stamps like these. If the stamp is damaged in any serious way- i.e. Thin spots, tears, missing corners, its values drops tremendously- hard to sell at any price. Centering is also very important, but sound stamps that are badly centered are still worth something. Bottom line, if the stamp is sound and nicely centered, the cheapest used varieties retail for around $150 and mint with full gum for around $1500 or more.

Even the very old machines are not very valuable because they are heavy and large, and there just aren't enough buyers for them. The exception is the Singer Featherweight, a smaller machine made by Singer and these continue to bring prices in the hundreds at auction. The serial number is not the most important piece of information about your machine. The model name or number is helpful, as is the year it was made.

However, the most important information a potential buyer will want to know is the condition of the machine. Does it work? Is any part broken or badly worn?

Highest prices are for the machines in tip top condition, like new, like they were hardly used. Broken machines have much lower values.
