Rare singer 99K Bentwood case. I used to own a shoe repair shop and my wife would help me repair items. The Singer 99 was a sturdy and reliable machine that was easy to use. It became very popular with occasional home users because at 22lbs (10kg), it was more manageable than’full size’ machines and it came in a storage case. In 1921 the company introduced the option of a Singer electic motor making the 99K the first portable electric machine. The 99 will sew most fabrics from fine delicates to denim or leather and will handle any normal household sewing task with ease. At first they had’Bentwood’ (polished plywood) covers which are now thought of as very desirable. The lid doesn’t lock on but this can be repaired if you need to carry it by the handle. I used to own a shoe repair shop so have a look at my other items. Serviced and oiled through whole life. This is the cleanest 99K I have ever seen that’s why I needed to own it. I’ll be sad to part with this one but I hope it finds a good home.
