Mid-Century Singer

Welcome to Mid-Century Singer.

This page is a collection of information on pre 1970’s all metal Singer sewing machines.

I have several older Singer machines.

I would like to preserve as much information about these machines and accessories as possible.

I have scanned and cleaned some of the manuals and re-created some from older scans. I have also digitized some of the parts lists so I can tell which parts are common to various machines.

Manuals specific to a model:

• Singer 221 Featherweight
• Singer 401
• Singer 404
• Singer 431G
• Singer 500 and 503 “Rocketeer”
