First, as you can easily confirm, your needle to pillar span is less than eight inches. Again, according to Wikipedia, just prior to the transition from 27 to 127, the 27 was fitted high this way while still retaining the lug for the low.īased on your picture, a couple things make me pretty sure your model isn't a "perfect" match for the familiar 27. This and the 8327 shuttle make certain mine is a 27 rather than a 127 even though the bobbin winder pulley is high (like the 127) rather than low (like the 27 and 28). My machine matches that but, unlike the 127, contains the lug on the rear of the pillar to take the bobbin winder pulley bracket.

The decals on your machine appears to be in great shape which makes it worth more to a collector. Sometimes around here you can find machines like this at auctions for $25.00 or less. I put a better collectable machine into the cabinet. I bought a machine like this that was in much worst shape just for the refinished treadle cabinet it was in for $200.00. Also on how much someone is willing to pay. The value all depends on condition of the machine and the cabinet. If you got the information from the Singer site it is the correct information on your machine.
