[Aleš]

Can some one tell me how much i sworh old sewing machine black colour with big gold letters PFFAF.
It is an old sewing machine in very good condition,still working,it is on the foot pedal(not motor) with the table,...very interesting,i am sure it must be around 100 years old or maybe more!
So where can i read more about this machine and how much is worth?

Hi Ales,

You certainly ask some odd things but I do enjoy it. The sewing machine company Pfaff used to be in Kaiserslautern I dont know if they are still there but they are still making machines that are fairly pricey the new machine for home use are inexpensive like our Singers in the US and go for upwards of 200 dollars. Their Industrial machines for sewing leather and other things can go for as much a 3000 bucks. But these are modern and being used now, what you have is something that is likely worth in the area of $150 to $200 dollars depending on model number and condition. It should have a model number in the underside and serial numbers use these if you decide to contact the company to find out the year the machine you describe was produced. The info I am giving you is a guess for value but I took a look on ebay and there are some older model Pfaff available for sale and they run in price from $50 dollars to about $150 give or take. So take a look there and do a google or bing search and see if the company is still in Kaiserslautern (Great Soccer team when I was stationed there). Hope this helps you out

Hi Guys,

I guess I find fun in some of the odd questions asked around here. But I also have an over active curiosity level. This sort of stuff drives my wife nuts at times but then again I drive her nuts a lot so who knows if its because I have a lot of mindless trivia stored up (I also have a lot of fun with Jeopardy...)

All the best

All right Dave!!!! YOU ROCK MAN!!!
Ok,i will check it out if there is any model or something in this machine an dthan i will try to contact the people in Kaiserslautern.
Hey Dave,when was the last time you visit Kaiserslautern!???
Because their soccer team sucks for a long time now,so.... it must be long time ago

 

[Aleš]

Nah you are right this sewing machine does not valuable so much,i just check it out it is prices around 50 euros to 75 but i didnt see people buying like crazy so....
Maybe if i get some Singer Sewing machine or Bagat the story will be diferent?
And yes it is PFAFF 30 Kaiserslautern i think it must be made something around 1952 because i find one just like this in the internet.
