Singer Sewing Machine Manual For Home Economic Classes Issue Number 1689
Interesting promotional material from the Singer Sewing Machine Co: "A Manual of Family Sewing Machines." Designed to be used (at no charge) in high school and college Home Economic classes in the early 20th century. A thinly veiled advertising vehicle. This is a 1926 revised edition with the user's address, and date of ownership handwritten on the cover. Contains considerable ballyhoo regarding changing treadle machines over to electric as well a plenty of useful information on attachments and sewing novelties of the era. 46 pages (5.5" X 8") glossy black and white. Very good interior. Cover has signs of use. Scant dampness signs on bottom edge.

Sometimes older is better.... well, let's make that almost always older is better. Oh nuts, let's just admit it: OLDER IS BETTER and that is why you are here, right? Who wouldn't prefer a 50 year old bottle of linseed oil to one off the shelf brand-spanking-new? Or,a box of partially used colored chalks from the 1940's? That is because you know that "they just don't make 'em like that anymore" is a great way to shop for things that are important to you and your process. There is a reason people snap up sewing machine needles made in the 60's and 70's while disdaining newer ones. It is as simple as this: Where were they made, Germany or China? And, so it goes for all kinds of stuff you crafters, artists, and creators love to work with. OLDER IS BETTER! So, please bookmark this page and come back when you are looking for just the right thing with just the right maturity; our inventory is always changing and always inspiring.
