The Best of the best!
This beautiful Singer 201k came off the assembly line at the famous Kilbowie factory, Clydebank, Scotland on September 19th 1951.
The Singer 201k is one of the finest machines to ever have been produced, it’s abilities know no bounds and the stitch quality is second to none!
Along with this fantastic Singer 201k, you will receive a signed copy of the ‘A Brief History Of The Sewing Machine’ book by Alex Askaroff.
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.
The machine comes with lots of extras including mock croc case, thread, bobbins, needles and attachments (including pleating/ruffler foot), see pictures. A few of the usual tiny pin marks but in beautiful condition with ALL original decals. Fantastic machine – and AN ORIGINAL HAND CRANK! Made in the Kilbowie factory in Clydebank, Scotland.
This machine has been well loved and looked after. It has a few of the usual tiny pin marks and scratches and has all original decals and is in beautiful condition!
Capable and beautiful, a true workhorse.
