    Hello,
    I have a State Sewing Machine and wondering if there is a market for this? There is a bobbin box as well. Any information is appreciated. Thank you.

      Hi, JDSwift. :-)

      Somebody else posted a State Sewing Machine Company machine here quite a few years back, so we'll both learn from it:

      https://www.collectorsweekly.com/stories/72113-state-sewing-machine

      Yours doesn't look exactly like that other one, but it does seem to be another Singer Model 15 'clone' in that I don't see a tension disc assembly on the front, but can just barely see something protruding from the faceplate side that is probably one (a tension disc assembly on the faceplate is a defining feature of Singer model 15 machines and their clones).

      Here is an instruction manual for generic HA-1 15 class machines:

      As to whether there is a market for something like this, here is a piece on the value of and market for vintage sewing machines written by a member of the staff at the International Sewing Machine Collectors' Society:

      Good luck. :-)
