The Singer "Improved Family" (Oscillating
Shuttle)
This is another example of the Singer 'Improved Family' oscillating
shuttle machine which was produced between 1879 and the early 1890's. This one
was made in Singer's British plant at Kilbowie, near Glasgow in Scotland in
1887.
The large Singer logo cast into the underside of the base can
