About this objectThis working sewing machine is based on Singer models.
In 1957, three models were being made, the Senior, Junior and Minor, of which this is an example. The red 'Minor', the Blue 'Junior' and the Red 'Senior' were lightweight designs and substantially less sturdy than the earlier ones. Later models were the Vulcan 'Countess', 'Regal' and 'Classic'. The 'Regal' was battery powered. Toy sewing machine production finished in about 1971.
