SOLD --- GENERAL ELECTRIC SEW HANDY SEWING MACHINE - FULLY SERVICED
The General Electric "Sewhandy" machines are considered by many to be the forerunner to the Singer 221 Featherweight. They have similar characteristics but also differ in quite a few ways. These are relatively uncommon machines, and not often found in the condition of this one. The pictures will attest to the overall condition.
The Sewhandy was built for General Electric by the Standard Sewing Machine Company, of Cleveland, Ohio. This one is the GE Model "A" version of the Sewhandy and has a cast iron base. These were manufactured between mid 1931 and into 1934. It has serial number A - 7942
It uses standard 15x1
needles, which makes it easier to use than some vintage machines that require either
modification or vintage original needles.
It has a clean and solid case with good latches and
strong handle. It comes with the top
tray for the accessories.
The machine is fully cleaned, serviced, has its original bobbin case. Mechanically it runs very well!
