Cast Iron Childs Size
/ Travel & Salesman Sample Antique Sewing Machines
During the late 1800's and early 1900's young girls
were expected to learn to sew at an early age, and small portable hand
crank sewing
machines that could be used by youngsters were also widely embraced by
adults to use at home for mending as well as while traveling or
vacationing.
Collectible Singer Toy Sewing Machines
These interesting and
highly detailed vintage toy sewing machines are often mistakenly identified as
salesman samples, but the truth is that they were made and marketed
as toys. Singer realized the importance of marketing their
products and their name to young girls and their mothers and made their first version,
what has come to be referred to as the 4-spoke, in the early
1900's.
Many full-size Singer sewing machines were undoubtedly
sold to those who fondly remembered the toy sewing machine that years
earlier they had learned to sew on. Singer continued the tradition
of promoting the company in this way right up to their last
model, which they had made for them in Turkey in the
1980's.
All Singer toy sewing machines are considered highly collectible today and are the most popular machine
that we sell by far. And they were so popular in their day
that other toy sewing machine makers decided to get a piece of the
action by copying the Singer design, and a host of what have come to be
known among collectors as "look-alikes" were produced by
assorted American and foreign manufacturers over the years. For
collectors that means there are many exciting variations to be found,
and one could assemble an outstanding collection of only Singers and the
look-alikes just by focusing on all of the different models, colors and
variations in their cases and boxes.
