Complete Antique 1920s Singer Model 20 Child\'s Miniature Sewing Machine Set – Fully Functional with Rare Original Tool!
Item Overview:
Up for sale or purchase is an exceptionally rare, beautifully preserved Singer Model 20 Child’s Sewing Machine set, dating back to the mid-1920s (circa 1922–1926). This is an ultimate collector’s bundle—it is 100% complete and fully operational, featuring parts that are almost always lost to time, including the original box, manual, clamp, and the tiny original needle wrench tool.
Item Condition & Functionality:
• The Machine: Excellent vintage condition. The original black enamel finish has a brilliant shine, the gold \"SINGER\" decals are sharp and intact, and the chrome sewing bed shows minimal wear for its age. Mechanically flawless—the hand crank turns smooth as silk, and the needle assembly moves effortlessly.
• The Accessories: Includes the original heavy cast-iron table C-clamp used to secure the machine to a workspace.
• The Rare Needle Tool: Includes the highly elusive, original Simanco miniature flathead screwdriver/needle wrench tool. This small metal tool is used for tightening the needle clamp screw and adjusting machine nuts. Because of its tiny size, it is missing from nearly 95% of surviving kits found today.
• The Manual: The original \"Singer Sewing Machine No. 20\" instruction booklet (Form 7933) is fully intact with beautiful vintage illustrations. It shows light natural aging but no heavy tearing.
• The Box: Features the iconic 1920s dark green graphics (\"A Singer for the Girls\"). It exhibits some typical edge wear and minor tearing consistent with a century of storage, but it remains structurally solid with vibrant color, making it an incredible display piece.
What’s Included:
• Authentic Singer Model 20 Cast-Iron Hand-Crank Sewing Machine
• Original Heavy Metal Table C-Clamp
• Original Simanco Miniature Screwdriver / Needle Wrench Tool
• Original Singer No. 20 Paper Instruction Manual
• Original \"A Singer for the Girls\" Cardboard Storage Box
