Hand ornamentation

National Rifle Association

In use from 1889

In use for Classes:

VS2

Those decals have been found on a sewing machine owned by Karen Lewis, that we thank for the photos.
The emblem of The National Rifle Association in the UK (established in 1859) is on the base of the machine. Also the treadle has matching decorations.
The highly ornate design with mother-of-pearl inlays makes us think it was a custom hand-crafted design.

About the data shown here

The information here about the use of decals in factories and classes is based on “verified 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.
