On my to-do list for eons has been restoring these two lovelies. Both came in their original desks and are fantastic examples of Vintage Singer history. The first is a 1922 model, the first electric machine made by singer, it was essentially a treadle machine with a motor strapped to it. Restoring the motor would be so costly that I decided to have this fitted with a hand-crank. It would be a great teaching machine.
This beauty is from the early 40s and is model number 201-2 it is considered one of the most powerful home machines singer ever made. It came in a beautiful deco desk with all it's party and attachments. This is going to be my new go-to machine, I can't wait.
