Description:

This listing is for a professional reproduction of the very rare and old Singer Manufacturing Co. “Directions for Using Singer Vibrating Shuttle No. 2 Sewing Machine.” This is NOT a standard "Xerox" copy of the Singer manual! It is professionally printed on the same heavy-weight brilliant-white paper as the original Singer manual!

This manual has been expertly restored to its original condition

The restored manual is super clean and the text and illustrations are nearly identical to those of the original manual. The restored manual is also identical in size and in paper type to the original Singer manual.

***************

This manual is not a bunch of pages stapled at the top corner. This manual is professionally bound, just like the original Singer manual.

***************

The original 132 year old manual has become frail, brittle, mildewed, stained and yellow ed after so many years.

This RESTORED manual looks like an original Singer manual that has been preserved in NEW CONDITION!

It should be noted that the “photos” in the original manual are not real photos. They are hand-drawn illustrations made by local New York City artist, to resemble actual photos.

Imagine a 132-year old manual is in brand new condition!

Just like the Singer company printed their manual on their in-house printing press, we printed this manual on our in-house printing press. This manual may serve you for the next 132 years.

In fact, if we didn't tell you,

you could not tell the difference

between this manual and the

original manual!　

This 27-page Instruction manual is complete and very clean with no "black dots," smudges, stains, or any other imperfections. No pages are missing, dirty, or damaged. The manual includes descriptions and illustrations which will show you how to do the following:
