The factory where this machine was made, on the banks of the River Clyde, was reported at its peak to employ around 14,000 people, with over 2,000 just on their furniture, box and cabinet side. They even had their own railway line, stations and docks. They managed their own forests for timber. Nearly everybody in the area worked for Singers. Accurate time keeping with such a large workforce was essential. Singer’s solution was to build a huge clock tower that could be seen from every house in the district, so there was no excuse to be late. The factory finally closed its doors in 1979 after nearly 100 Years of production.
This machine has been well looked after, it has the usual tiny pin marks and scratches but is in FANTASTIC CONDITION!
Whether you're a seasoned seamstress or a collector looking to add to your vintage sewing machine collection, this Singer 221k is a fantastic addition. Don't miss out on the chance to own this unique and very special centenary machine.
