While most of the industrial models did not have decals, this one is probably the most common one used on industrial Singer machines.

Variations depend largely on the shape of the specific machine. It may feature intricate leaf scrolls or just the ornate monogram "The S.M. Co." ("The Singer Manufacturing Company").
Also the position of each decorative element varies from model to model, due to the particular shapes of certain industrial machines.

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.
