Machine Sewing Book, Singer 1924 (Vintage Original) RARE

MACHINE SEWING Book by the Singer Manufacturing Company - a Teacher’s Textbook subtitled "A TREATISE ON THE CARE AND USE OF FAMILY SEWING MACHINES AND THEIR ATTACHMENTS"

These are original complete books that have some wear indicated in the photos.

Published primarily for Teacher’s of Home Economics, these are few and far between and becoming harder and harder to find as more and more Singer collectors see the value in owning such a quality book with a wealth of information.

Copyright 1924. Primarily, this is one of the most excellent resources for Singer Attachment collectors as it references many, many Singer Sewing Machine Attachments - including some really scarce attachments!
