DescriptionThis manually operated cast-iron sewing machine was produced by the Singer Manufacturing Company. Painted glossy black with gold floral detailing and set into a polished wooden base, the machine is marked with the brand name "SINGER" in prominent gold lettering and retains its original decals, including “The Singer Manufacturing Co.” and the company’s trademark medallion near the crank. Built for durability and portability, this hand-cranked model has ornamental inlays, including delicate cross-shaped insets across the work surface.
