Non-Singer Sewing Machines

About Other Vintage Sewing Machines

The first sewing machines were built in the late 1700s but didn't really become practical until Singer came along. Shortly thereafter, numerous brands appeared, often sporting painted designs and logos, which are highly appealing to collectors. Early electric machines are rare, the first practical one being made by Singer in 1899. Look for condition and functionality in non-Singer machines.
