Vintage Singer Model 700 Series 'Touch & Sew' Zig-Zag Sewing Machine
This is a vintage Singer 'Touch & Sew' sewing machine, likely a 700 series model (such as the 750 or 758), dating from the late 1960s to the early 1970s. The machine features a distinctive off-white or cream-colored metal and heavy-duty plastic housing, typical of mid-century industrial design. It is a flat-bed style machine integrated into a portable base. Notable features include the prominent 'SINGER' logo on the front faceplate with various sliding controls for stitch width, needle position, and stitch length regulation. Two vertical white spool pins are located on the top surface. The machine is equipped with its original foot pedal, styled in a dark brown Bakelite or heavy plastic, and its power cord. The craftsmanship reflects the era's transition from all-metal internal gears to high-durability polymers. Regarding condition, the machine shows signs of moderate use and age-related yellowing on the plastic components. There is visible surface dust and some minor scuffing on the deck. The power cord appears intact but should be inspected for safety. These machines were highly regarded for their top-drop bobbin system and decorative stitch capabilities, though internal gears from this period often require inspection for cracking.
