A design revolution for Singer, this light-weight portable is a favorite with quilters. This example dates from 1951, but, interestingly, isn't badged as an anniversary model.

I've had a number of examples from the 400 and 500 series pass through my hands now, and as testament to their quality, they have all been in very nice condition; none, however, has matched this beauty for its near pristine state of preservation. While even on the cleanest example one must forgive a minor imperfection or two, this classic from Singer exhibits none! Truly as nice as one could hope.

Got the BelAir going!

I pulled the wiring from a JCPenney 7000 and was able to get the BelAir operating. I still need to affix a spool pin and give her a try, but at least she's "on the road". This is a Singer clone from Japan (see photo above); very heavy. Will need a case.
