Singer Special Edition Electric Sewing Machine
This is a domestic electric sewing machine manufactured by Singer, part of their 'Special Edition' line, likely dating from the mid-to-late 20th century (circa 1980s or early 1990s). The unit features a hard plastic (polymer) cream-colored exterior with a built-in top carry handle. Notable aesthetic markings include the red Singer logo on the front faceplate and a secondary label indicating its 'Special Edition' status in script. The machine is equipped with a variety of stitch patterns illustrated on the upper panel, ranging from straight stitches to multiple zigzag and decorative patterns, controlled by sliding levers and a circular selection dial. A black foot pedal and cord are present, resting on the flat bed. The construction includes a metal needle plate and a top-loading spool pin. Regarding condition, the machine exhibits significant storage wear and lack of maintenance. There is visible surface grime, dust accumulation, and dark speckling across the lower base and bed. The plastic casing shows mild yellowing/patina consistent with age and UV exposure. There appear to be minor scuffs along the bottom edges and potential light surface oxidation on the metal needle bar and throat plate. The functionality is untested, and the internal mechanical condition remains unknown.
