Info on Vintage and Antique Singer machines is difficult to find

 

I am not into sewing in any shape or fashion, but my husband has found many vintage and antique sewing machines for us to sell.  From my experience Singer is probably the premier brand in sewing machines and they have been manufacturing them since 1851, so I'd say they are the most collectible also. 

I have gathered many useful links for you to find info about your vintage or antique Singer sewing machine.

I learned how to sew on an antique Singer treadle machine. They are wonderful for kids as you can go as slow as you want to go. Great lens.

Where does your husband find all these machines? I have a weakness for antique sewing machines and just started a blog for them at Antique Singer Sewing Machines. I've bookmarked your lens so I can have easy access to these eBay auctions! Thanks!!

My Mum used to use an old Singer, just a hand powered one. I still have it, but I suppose it's not worth much still. They were very nicely made in those days.
