Exceptionally well-preserved Singer Sewhandy Model 20 child-sized miniature sewing machine. This specific model variant features a cast aluminum body in a "Warm Taupe" or beige crinkle finish, dating it from the mid-1950s.
Purpose: Rather than a simple toy, Singer marketed these as fully functional miniature machines. They were heavily utilized to teach children how to sew safely.
Mechanics: The Model 20 produces a single-thread chain stitch, meaning it does not require a lower bobbin or a bobbin case.
Threading Guide: The body features cast-in numbers from 1 to 6 to guide small hands through the threading path easily.
Safety Features: It includes a small metal finger guard around the needle bar to keep small fingers safe from the needle area.
Original Accessories Included - 100% complete bundle.
The Machine: Excellent cosmetic and working condition. Smooth hand crank operation. Includes the built-in numbered threading system and original finger safety guard.
The Cases: Includes BOTH the original cardboard graphics box (great 1950s artwork) and the hard-shell red carrying case with the blue velvet-style interior lining.
The Table C-Clamp: Original matching taupe metal clamp used to secure the machine to a table edge.
Documentation: Original "How to use your SINGER SEWHANDY" instruction booklet.
The Extras: Original green packet of Singer 24x1 (Size 14) needles and a vintage wooden spool of thread.
Perfect for vintage sewing collectors, antique lovers, or as a stunning display piece. Mechanical parts move freely and smoothly.
