As a sewing machine technician and a collector. I can tell you The value of this machine is only known to you actually. What your willing to accept for it, also what another person is willing to pay. Much also depends on its condition and if it works well. If all is good I would make an educated guess and say it may be worth between 1 and 2 hundred dollars. If not in good condition you will be lucky to get 50.00.
You have to remember that there are a lot of those machines out there. Almost every home back then had one and they last forever. I hope yours was well taken care of.
Good luck to you.
Try selling it on Craigslist.com in your area. Collectors watch there. Or look for collectors online at different web searches and ask them personally. It would be good to have a photo.
