Hi,

 Does anybody have any information on a Tikka Tikkakoski sewing machine? Are they valuable? Made in Finland but exported to the Soviet Union only. Thanks.

from what I read about it your best bet is take it to a antique dealer

In former Soviet Union, Republic of Georgia, I have a friend who has this machine. I know that it is still in very good working condition and still valuable. It was the one of the best brands imported in Soviet Union that times, together with VERITAS sewing machines. I also still have the VERITAS COLUMBA in perfect condition, made in Germany. 

Why r u interest in this machine ?

Believe it or not but I have one in the USA. I found it at an estate sale in the Southwest and purchased it. It looks to be complete and it even has some of the original accessories with the owners manual which is in Russian. I am debating if I should list it on ebay since shipping and handling would be a nightmare for me and the seller. The only other reference I found on the net is a picture of one with an electric motor. Mine does not have a electric motor it is the pedal type. Awhile back I found an on line ad for one of these, it was located in Russia, and the person wanted 150 rubles. I also found out the factory that made these sewing machines also made Russian guns at the same time. There are references of the Tikka riffles and guns so I am assuming they are still being manufactured. Thank you for your information.

Not Russian, Finnish. Tikka machines and guns were made in Finland. Tikka sewing machines are not valuable here in Finland, you could get one for about 20 euros.
