Lot 352: A Mid-20th Century Singer Electric Sewing Machine
A vintage electric sewing machine manufactured by The Singer Manufacturing Co. in Great Britain. The machine features a streamlined cast metal body finished in a two-tone tan and brown colour scheme, which is visually consistent with the Singer 185k model produced at the Kilbowie factory. The arm displays the brand name SINGER in large lettering, with the lower edge inscribed THE SINGER MANUFACTURING CO. and MADE IN GREAT BRITAIN. The unit is equipped with an integrated electric motor, a top-mounted tension dial with numerical settings, and various control levers. It is housed within a rectangular wooden base. A vintage spool of Dewhurst’s thread is currently attached to the spool pin.
