Singer 66 6 Appraisal

Vintage Singer Model 66-6 Electric Sewing Machine in Cabinet No. 40

This is a vintage Singer Model 66-6 electric sewing machine, likely dating from the mid-1920s to the 1930s based on the 'Filigree' or 'Tiffany' style gold decals and the back-mounted motor. The machine head is constructed of heavy cast iron with a classic glossy black 'Japan' finish. It features a horizontal oscillating hook system and a side-mounted handwheel. The machine is housed in a mid-century wooden 'Cabinet No. 40', which is a library-style table that unfolds to provide a flat sewing surface. The cabinet's door opens to reveal specialized storage for spools and tools. Physical condition appears well-maintained for its age; the wood shows minor surface scratches and light wear consistent with regular household use. The gold decals on the machine's arm and base exhibit some slight thinning but remain largely intact and legible. Notable features include the original Singer 'S' brass medallion on the pillar and a small electric work light mounted behind the presser bar, which is reported to be functional. The set is accompanied by original attachments (set number 120607), green cardboard accessory boxes, and a user manual. The oscillating hook mechanism is visible through the slide plate on the bed. Craftsmanship is indicative of the high-durability standards of the pre-WWII era, intended for heavy-duty family use.
