Description from the seller
Singer 28K Hand-Crank Sewing Machine – 1922 – Original Cabinet and Accessories
Beautiful and authentic Singer 28K hand-crank sewing machine, manufactured by the Singer Manufacturing Company in Kilbowie, Scotland, dating from around 1922.
The machine bears the serial number Y646861, placing it within the Singer 28K production series of 1922. It retains its original black japanned finish with characteristic gold floral decals and Singer decoration, showing attractive age-related wear and patina.
The hand-crank mechanism is in working condition: the crank turns smoothly and the needle mechanism moves smoothly and correctly up and down. The machine has not been tested with fabric and thread, so it is unknown whether it still produces a proper stitch.
The machine is mounted in its original wooden bentwood-style cabinet/carrying case, with its original hand crank and wooden handle. The cabinet retains much of its original finish and decoration and has a particularly attractive aged appearance.
A number of original sewing accessories are included, as visible in the photographs, including bobbins, needles and other small sewing-related items.
The Singer 28K is a compact Singer model featuring a vibrating-shuttle system and hand-crank operation. It was designed as a portable sewing machine while retaining the robust cast-iron construction and mechanical quality associated with Singer.
The machine is presented in original, unrestored condition, retaining its original finish, decoration and natural patina.
The wooden cabinet shows signs of age and use. Some of the original fittings connecting the upper cover to the lower cabinet are missing, meaning that the cover can no longer be securely attached to the base in its original manner. The cabinet and decals also show various marks, scratches, wear and losses consistent with its age.
