AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

RARE SINGER 48K sewing machine
Registration number M

Under restoration
Incomplete: the glove compartment closure and the wooden box are missing.

Model 48K, produced only at the Kilbowie factory in Scotland between 1900 and 1911.
Decalcomanie Ottoman Carnation.

The decision by Singer to produce the 48K at that time is a mystery; it is speculated that the 48K might have been conceived as a low-cost model to compete with the numerous German machines with high arms. However, this is only speculation. What is known is that it was the most affordable model in the range and that it was generally not advertised.
