1949 Singer Sewing Table with fold-out sewing machine

By meditrina, 19 September, 2009
Description

This is a table with a fold-up electric sewing machine. According to the serial number, it was made in 1949. 25,000 were sold. It has a fold out drawer in front and a bench with a hollow seat for storage.
It has some scratches and scuffs, but I haven't refinished it because I like the look!

I think there are at least several that have already been appraised on here.  Be sure to use the "Search our huge database of appraisals" on the right to see if you can find info already available.  Hope this helps.
