Working Vintage 1970s Singer Starlet 354 Portable Sewing Machine (Made in France)
Up for sale is a beautiful, retro Singer Starlet Model 354 sewing machine dating from the 1970s (internationally known as the Singer Genie). Featuring the iconic bright yellow and orange floral faceplate, this is a fantastic piece of mid-century design that is fully operational!
Condition & Testing Details:
Mechanically Working: Tested and fully functional. The internal motor runs smoothly, the foot pedal is responsive, and the needle bar cycles up and down correctly when power is applied.
Power & Light: The built-in workspace light turns on immediately and works perfectly (see photos).
Cosmetics: In good vintage condition with minor surface scuffs and light age-related discolouration as expected for its age.
Modular Design: The detachable extension bed functions perfectly, clipping securely to the front to act as a hard-shell protective travel cover.
Please Note (Missing Parts):
While the machine functions beautifully, it is currently missing a few inexpensive user components before you can begin sewing:
1. The clear plastic bobbin slide plate cover (easily found online for a few pounds).
2. A standard sewing needle.
3. A drop-in Class 66 bobbin.
This is a fantastic opportunity to own a fully functional, smooth-running vintage machine that just needs a couple of cheap plastic consumables to be complete.
Power cord and foot pedal are included.
Will be packed securely with plenty of protective padding for transit. Please review all photos closely for exact cosmetic condition.
