Small Sewing Machine Appraisal

Portable Electric Sewing Machine with Hard Case

The item is a portable electric sewing machine, likely designed for domestic use. It is primarily white or off-white in color, made of plastic and metal components. The main body of the machine features a typical sewing arm with a needle mechanism, thread guides, and a spool pin. A large, circular tension dial and another control knob are visible on the front-facing side of the machine head. Electrical connections, including what appears to be a power cord input and possibly a foot pedal connector, are present on the side. The machine is currently detached from its accompanying hard-shell carrying case, which is also off-white and made of plastic, featuring a textured surface and an integrated handle on top. The base of the sewing machine is secured within a fitted bottom section of the case, suggesting it's designed to be used while seated in this base. A visible metal latch on the base secures the machine. The overall style appears to be from the late 20th century, possibly 1980s or 1990s, given the plastic construction and general aesthetic. No specific brand markings or model numbers are discernible from the image. The condition appears used, with some general dust or discoloration visible on both the machine and the case, consistent with age and storage. There are no obvious signs of major damage or extensive wear, but closer inspection would be needed to determine full operational status and internal condition. The craftsmanship appears to be standard for mass-produced consumer electronics of its era.
