Vintage Singer Sewing Machine

November 2, 2019 By A Spoonful of Sugar - 10 Comments

Vintage Singer 99 K Sewing Machine

I learnt to sew on my Mum’s singer sewing machine that she bought when she was first married in 1961. She updated to a more modern machine in the 1980’s and we no longer have her old Singer. I recently spotted this Vintage Singer 99K Machine on Gumtree and it reminded me of my Mum’s machine. I love the sturdiness of Singers – cast iron and beautifully housed in a walnut case.

I looked up the serial number and this beauty was made in February 1951. The gold decals and intricate detailing on the machine is wonderful. This particular model is electric and is operated by a knee lever.

I was thrilled to discover that the machine is in perfect working order and even came equipped with the original accessories box. It was in the care of the daughter in law of the original owner and it has been very well loved and cared for over the years.

This gorgeous Singer 99K will take pride of place in my sewing room.

I love the little key to lock the cover in place.

    That is gorgeous — where did you find the serial number? I’ve got one that looks a lot like yours, but way more beat-up. 🙂

    Love this post of vintage Singer Sewing machine I still have my mother’s . This is the first one with the knee leaver that I came across.
    Mine has that as well. The hours of sewing she had done on her Singer over the years was unbelievable she was a dressmaker.
    Thanks for sharing your photos and history of the machine.

    I think I have 1964 model. But no foot pedal or key to open box. Would love to know if it works.

      You can use the opener of a bully beef tin to open the machine. It looks the same as on photo.

    Wow, just discovered this post.
    I was a singer dealer from 1953 for 45 more years. Your machine is a 99k13, in a 195 base and cover (no reverse). Remember it well.

    Oh my goodness!!!! This is exactly the same model Singer as my Mum had and I learnt on. She bought it in 1950. The knee speed control and case are the same. It was so heavy I can remember her waiting for Dad to lift it for her when she’s was pregnant. She sewed beautifully and made all our clothes with it but eventually traded it for a Bernina. Thankyou for the memory
