I am trying to find the value of an ol Morse sewing machine, mod s.d. #50200.

Morse are sturdy machines. I am not familiar with this model and currently there are none with that number (or that look like yours) on eBay as sold auctions (or active).
When trying to value, eBay is the easiest way. I always tell people don't use current auctions, only SOLD auctions (it is a button on the left side of the screen--at least on my computer).
The best way to find today's market value is you will need to find the exact make and model and see what people actually pay to get an idea of today's current market value.
Once you find an exact make and model match, you will need to take up to 20% off the value if the sold one is PRISTINE...if it is one that is like yours that needs repair...then you have an apples to apples value and you are good to go! Y
You will also need to add 15-20% to the value if the SOLD ones are only the machine, since you have the whole set up (yes, it is a bit complicated because with sewing machines there are dozens of variables...there are attachments also that can add value so be aware of that and if you don't have them and a sold one does, you need to take 10-15% off the value).
There are lots of folks out there who still love and collect these work horses. They are a bug a boo to sell on eBay because it is to hard to pack and ship. You could do a local buy (pick up only) but that may take a long time...as it all about supply and demand.
So long story long, this site sums up valuing sewing machines much better than I can...so it is worth sharing....ismacs.net/
Unless they are antiques, there is not much demand for them. Check on eBay for a few weeks to see what they are selling for.
I have no idea what they are worth. My mom had that exact same machine, portable in a case. She bought it from a door to door salesman. I learned to sew with it. It was so sturdy. You could sew through ANYTHING!
