At a recent meeting of the Raintree Quilter's Guild, one of our members put together a display of Singer sewing machines....both full size and toy models....and a very nice program about Isaac Singer and his company. I took a lot of photos of the machines and will post some here for all you Singer lovers.
I don't know the details of each of these, but we seem to have a lot of collectors in our guild :-)
My first sewing machine was a Singer and I still have it, but it is much newer then any of these! My mother used a Singer and I imagine my Grandmother's treadle machine was a Singer. Many ladies in our guild still sew on these old Featherweight machines.

I'd love to have one of those little featherweights for Lorelei! I grew up on a Singer treadle machine.
I love them, but don't have room to collect even if I wanted to. But any time we stop in a junk/antique/used store, I always look for sewing machines.
