Vintage Singer Sewing Machine with Electric Motor and Light
This is a vintage Singer sewing machine, likely dating from the early to mid-20th century. It features a predominantly black cast-iron body adorned with elaborate gold-colored decals, characteristic of Singer's 'Sphinx' or 'Egyptian' decal set, which suggests a Model 66 or similar contemporary model. The machine has an integrated electric motor, painted black, mounted on the back side of the machine head, and a separate, chrome-plated light fixture extending from the head to illuminate the sewing area. A large, spoked balance wheel, possibly made of metal with a lighter-colored, possibly bakelite or similar composite handwheel, is prominently featured on the right side. The bed of the machine is also black with matching gold decals, showing some wear and scuffing, particularly around the edges and areas of frequent contact. The machine rests on small, likely rubber or felt feet. An unattached power cord with a vintage-style brown bakelite plug and exposed, somewhat deteriorated wiring (indicated by the distinct black and tan/yellow insulation) is visible in the foreground, suggesting it is a foot pedal or power connection. There is visible dust and grime accumulation, and some minor surface corrosion or tarnishing on the metal components, such as the needle bar and presser foot assembly. The overall condition suggests moderate to heavy use and age-related wear, with the decals showing some fading and minor chipping. The craftsmanship is typical of Singer machines from this era, known for their robust construction and intricate decorative elements. The machine appears to be a tabletop or portable model, designed to be placed on a surface or within a cabinet.
