I’m sure most will recognise that this, unlike most of my offerings, is an American-made machine.
But I bought it from the family of the original owner and it’s been in the UK since new.
By checking the date, which is just before Singer’s main plant in Scotland re-started production just after WWII, it’s my guess that this machine was brought over from the USA to help fill the demand for new machines at the time in Britain.
And it’s survived those years remarkably well.
We have totally complete and unworn decals and just a minimum of light pin marks on the base.
Add to that the correct-for-year scroll faceplate and the result is a highly desirable machine.
Good solid, strong box with zero odor.
Machine comes with a range of attachments/feet, a bound photocopy of the original full-size handbook and a packet of Schmetz needles.
Fully cleaned inside and out, serviced and sew tested before leaving the workshop. Electrically tested for your safety. Pictures are of the actual machine. Any bright marks are from the flash - all flaws are always described in full.
Price includes comprehensive insured air shipping to your door
