Decal

Painted Roses and Daisies Variant (Potentilla / Apple Blossom)

In use from 1886 up to 1890

In use for Classes:

Improved Family (15)

A variant of many decals with flowers. The identification of the exact flowers can be hard, and is easily inaccurate. There were several versions.

The denomination "Potentilla / Apple Blossom" can be mistaken for another decal, known as "Apple Blossom". To try and avoid confusion, we named the second one "Painted Roses and Daisies (Flowers)".

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.

Do you want instead to identify your Singer sewing machine age and/or model? You can use our Singer Serial Number Database Lookup.
