Item description:

An exceptional, highly collectible antique portable electric sewing machine manufactured by The Singer Manufacturing Company. This model 128 machine is adorned with intricate, well-preserved golden “La Vencedora” Victorian filigree decals contrasting beautifully against the glossy black enamel finish. The machine is outfitted with its original SIMANCO Catalog B.U.7-A attached sewing motor and a bullet-style rear work light. This complete estate lot includes the matching heavy walnut bentwood dome carrying case shell with inlaid gold lettering and original key, along with a rare green paper instruction manual dated April 1921. Mechanically it remains untested; however, all wiring insulation and power cords appear structurally solid, intact, and well-preserved. The entire lot is graded in excellent antique condition with light surface storage dust (I wet my finger and ran it across the machine.  It should clean up beautifully).
