Singer | 1930

Vintage ad for Singer, 1930

A useful Christmas present! Created by American Isaac Merritt Singer in 1850 and patented a year later in the United States, the Singer sewing machine became a worldwide reference.

With more than 160 years of history, Singer has survived a radical change in society. Today few families sew or own a sewing machine, and Singer, attentive to the market, has added a range of household appliances to its portfolio.

The company has also used technology to keep modernising its sewing machines.

This 1930 ad from the German magazine Die Koralle has a Christmas theme and highlights the advantage of a machine with a motor and a sewing light.
