Collectible Singer Toy Sewing Machines

These interesting and highly detailed vintage toy sewing machines are often mistakenly identified as salesman samples, but the truth is that they were made and marketed as toys.  Singer realized the importance of marketing their products and their name to young girls and their mothers and made their first version, what has come to be referred to as the 4-spoke, in the early 1900's. 

Many full-size Singer sewing machines were undoubtedly sold to those who fondly remembered the toy sewing machine that years earlier they had learned to sew on.  Singer continued the tradition of promoting the company in this way right up to their last model, which they had made for them in Turkey in the 1980's.


All Singer toy sewing machines are considered highly collectible today and are the most popular machine that we sell by far.  And they were so popular in their day that other toy sewing machine makers decided to get a piece of the action by copying the Singer design, and a host of what have come to be known among collectors as "look-alikes" were produced by assorted American and foreign manufacturers over the years. For collectors that means there are many exciting variations to be found, and one could assemble an outstanding collection of only Singers and the look-alikes just by focusing on all of the different models, colors and variations in their cases and boxes.
