Selling a vintage, highly collectible Singer 201-2 electric sewing machine housed in its original Singer No. 42 Art Deco wooden cabinet.
The Singer 201-2 is widely considered by quilters and tailoring enthusiasts to be the smoothest and most durable heavy-duty domestic sewing machine Singer ever made. It features the famous gear-driven "potted motor" (no belts to slip or break).
The machine head folds completely flat into a beautiful solid wood cabinet featuring book-matched veneer double doors, elegant cabriole legs, and built-in swing-out storage drawers with built-in spool pins.

Condition:
The heavy cast-iron machine body is in very clean cosmetic shape with a beautiful high-gloss black enamel shine and crisp, intact gold decals. The wooden cabinet is structurally solid and stable; it shows minor surface scratches, scuffs, and light edge wear consistent with its age. Everything turns smoothly by hand. Electrical wiring is intact but vintage, so it is being sold as-is.
