Singer, kl. 15-30 sewing machine

Description

The Singer kl. 15-30 sewing machine was designed for use in homes and in small sewing workshops. The body and plinth of the machine were made of cast iron covered in black lacquer. The entire machine was richly adorned with decal patterns named Gingerbread or Tiffany. The heavy arm of the machine was placed in a model 22 wooden cabinet. The richly decorated, Victorian-style cabinet doubled as a piece of furniture when the machine was not in use. A special mechanism in the form of a button placed at the front of the machine, on the upper right door, enables the machine arm to be retracted or pulled out. The housing has five drawers which could be locked with a key from the inside. The front and side panels are designed so that they can be opened, which facilitated access to the pedal mechanism.
