Folk Singer Appraisal

Vintage Singer Sewing Machine (Green)

This item is a vintage Singer sewing machine, likely dating from the mid-20th century, possibly the 1950s or 1960s, given its distinctive pastel green color and overall design. The machine head is constructed from metal, painted in a light, soft green, which was a popular color for home appliances of that era. The 'SINGER' logo is prominently displayed in a contrasting dark color, likely white or cream, on the side of the machine head. It features a visible foot pedal made of metal, possibly chrome or polished steel, with a matching painted base that integrates with the machine. An electrical cord, appearing to be original and wrapped with a rubber band, extends from the foot pedal. The machine is housed within a wooden base, which shows some signs of wear and discoloration, suggesting it's made from a light-colored wood like birch or maple, possibly with a clear varnish. The base appears integrated rather than a separate carrying case. Notable features include a thread spool pin at the top, various adjustment dials and levers on the right side of the machine head, typical for stitch length and tension control. There are some visible signs of use and age, including minor scuffs on the painted surfaces and wear on the wooden base. A red and white sticker with a barcode and 'S29.99' indicates it was likely purchased from a thrift store or second-hand vendor. The machine's robust metal construction suggests good quality and durability, characteristic of Singer machines from this period. The overall condition appears to be good for its age, with no apparent major damage or repairs, only typical superficial wear.
