The Singer Manufacturing Company Sewing Machine
This gorgeous girl is my Singer 201P. She's a reclusive thing, not revealing her beauty to me until I gave her a good wiping down and performed a quick Google search as a background check. Guys, she's vintage! Actually, genuinely vintage!
The Singer 201 series of full size sewing machines were produced mainly in the USA and the UK. They were first introduced in 1935 and continued in production up until 1961. It was the Singer Manufacturing Company’s finest domestic sewing machine. Hundreds of thousands of them were produced and most of them are still sewing as finely and as strongly today as when they were first produced over 70 years ago.
These Singers are widely regarded as still one of the best stitchers of the lot! Sure, it can only do a straight stitch, but I still think that's pretty impressive. The old saying, "They don't make 'em like they used to," certainly seems to ring true here.
hey jess, just up my ally! i've got a singer slant-o-matic 500 (aka, the rocketeer) from the early 60's, which i'm in deep machine-love with. It is fully gear driven, with no timing chain - so i fix her up whenever she needs some love. I SWEAR by vintage singer's. I've found this (http://www.tandtrepair.com/index.html) website SUPER helpful - he's got all the manuals, and tips and whatnot to help you along. Good luck!
those machines are so cool Inti!! i have a late 40's (?) Singer straight sewer, made in Great Britain (with knee bar and pretty decal's). But the styling on those 60's machines is so beautiful..
I just got your comment on my blog. I'd love to email you back privately, but my computer won't let me click on your email link. If you are willing to leave your email address in another comment, I promise not to publish it. :) I'd love to write you! ...And what a fascinating sewing machine!!!! Too cool. :) I've been reading a TON of your blog posts, and enjoying it. :)
Jess B I am married to wonderful man, blessed with 3 beautiful children, loved by an awesome God and really enjoy a spot of haphazard sewing and crafting. I lead a pretty ordinary life - why don't you join me?
