Monday Makes & Finds: The Tiny Singer
Behold! The Tiny Singer.
This little antique gem is as portable as it gets at roughly 12 in high & 10 wide.
It is a tabletop model with a hand crank mechanism.
(I mean, that is a gorgeous Art Deco Industrial design!!)
I'm afraid I don't know the year (I couldn't find a serial number), but it is a solid metal construction &, given the style, I would say it's from the 1920s.
**New info: it's from 1910!! It was marketed as a toy. :D See the link in the comments below.
Note: though I was sorely tempted, I did not make the Cottagecore blouse with this darling little Elf Machine. I may test it out with something simpler though in the near future. Maybe a 1920s project. . .
Looks like a model 20 toy sewing machine https://www.brightontoymuseum.co.uk/index/Singer_Model_20_sewing_machine
ReplyDeleteI think that is exactly what this is!! Thank you for finding that. I love the ad, "it's not a toy, it's a real Singer"--except that it totally is a toy. Well, kinda like the training bra of sewing machines. :)
