Chrome was in such high demand during the wars that they began to make the chrome parts, including the face plate, presser foot, bobbins, chrome thumbscrew and some attachments, out of black metal."A very nice shopping experience. The "Blackside" - Only made during 19, the "Blackside" is a pre- and post-World War II model that lacks the chrome pieces usually found on Singer models.While only a vintage machine, built in the 1930s - 1960s, they still work well and are a testament to the quality of the Singer product. Singer 221 and 222 Featherweight - One of the most sought after Singer machines is the 221 and 222 Featherweight, which are still popular with quilters, craftspeople, and seamstresses.After these first two models came the Singer Turtleback and the Letter A model, which were both much more refined. Pre-1860 the Singer Model 1 and Singer Model 2 were large and primitive looking. Early Models - Early Singer machines were mounted on stands, had only one pedal, and had lock-stitch vibrating shuttles.The following models or time period will add to the value of your machine: It may be the design, a unique color, certain stenciling, or any number of other factors. Very desirable antique Singer sewing machines will have some detail that attracts the collector. How popular is it among collectors? Just because a machine is old does not make it a valuable antique. The next factor is the desirability of the machine. It may not be repairable and may be good for machine parts only. Poor - This machine is non-functional and very worn.
Fair - This machine shows significant wear, including worn or very damaged paint, some rust, and many missing accessories.All major parts should be present, and the machine should function well. They may be a little rust and a few missing accessories. Good - Many antique Singers fall into this category.
There should be no rust, and all parts must be present. There may be a few medium-sized scratches and needle marks.
