Complete With Case & Accessories

Model #99K

Serial No. EL885078 

Circa 1956

Made in Great Britain (The world's largest Singer factory, Kilbowie, Clydebank Scotland)

This is an estate sale find that is truly amazing.  I usually avoid bigger items like this but I could not believe the great condition of this sewing machine.  This Singer sewing machine does not appear to have been used at all.  It is in beautiful condition with what I believe to be all the original accessories and then some.  I love the history of this wonderful machine, the body made in the UK, parts made in the USA, Container (case) marked "Made in Canada", and now being sold in Colorado USA. 

In 1921, Singer introduced the option of a Singer electric motor, making the 99K the first portable electric machine. This electric sewing machine has a foot pedal control and sews a wide variety of both light and heavyweight materials. Small but hard working, this machine features:

 Full steel body

Machine sits in a fabric covered wood carrying case with handle

Adjustable stitch lengths, types, pressure and tension

Reverse stitch feature

Bobbin winder

Generous harp area (work area between needle and right side)

Work bug eye light

Thread cutter

Foot pedal

0.53 amp motor

Many extras, including attachments, bobbins, needles etc.
