1897 singer sewing machine

[AlabamaRelic]

My wife has a singer sewing machine that according to the serial number was made in 1897. It's in rough shape. The cabinet is coming apart and the moving parts are not moving. Is it possibly worth anything? She wants to get rid of the machine and cabinet, repaint the base and turn it into a table.
