Because my main thrust will be vintage machines from the '50s and '60s, I thought I'd let the White Rotary go. It found a happy home, but won't be a part of what I show in HMB in June.
I've been busy with a few new projects and will post photos soon.
Buying, selling, servicing, using... thoroughly enjoying these marvels of mid-century domestic engineering.

Size Matters

Singer 153W103 Industrial

Singer 316G

Singer 301

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.
Singer 221- Featherweight

In remarkable condition. This one dates from 1956.
Singer 500A

Reassembled and polished.

Singer 503A

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.
