In use from 1900 up to 1920

In use for Classes:

  • 46K

This decal is for a high pillar machine, the 46K1 or 46K2 models. The 46K1 and 46K2 models were specialized "pique stitch" cylinder/post-bed machine used primarily for sewing the fingers of gloves. The 46K2 is like the 46K1, but has a smaller column and looper.

The shape of the machine, with the high column highlighted by golden borders, the base of the pillar with a stylized leaves border, gives the impression of classical ancient Greek decorations on columns.

About the data shown here

The information here about the use of decals in factories and classes is based on “Documented Machines” currently recorded in our database. We currently do not have an official Singer source about which decals were in use where and when and on which machines.

Our dataset is continuously growing as new machines are documented and shared by collectors and researchers. As a result, the details presented here should be considered indicative and may be updated over time.

Contributions are very welcome: if you own or know of a vintage Singer machine, please feel free to submit information via the form or contact us to help improve and expand this research.
