Singer Sewing Machine 1920's Advertising Cards - American Song Birds - Part 2
This group includes the Meadowlark, Brown Thrasher, Scarlet Tanager and the Mocking Bird. With ads talking about how with New Singer Portable Electric lets you sew "by your favorite window or in the living room at night with the family" or the Singer Sewing Motor, "The cost of operation is trifling, averaging about three hours of sewing for one cent". Then we have the "famous Singer No. 66, round bobbin machine, equipped with Singer Motor and Singerlight and enclosed in De Luxe Library Table No. 40" in "walnut, mahogany or brown mission". But "for those who prefer a special table for Singer portable electrics...Tables No. 301 and 304". There isn't much that you couldn't buy with the Singer name on it!

Singer Sewing Machine 1920's Advertising Cards - American Song Birds
This is a set of advertising cards put out by The Singer Sewing Machine Company, dated 1926, '27, '28, '29. They are each 4 1/2" x 6" and printed on fairly thin stock. Each one has a lovely bird illustration by J. L. Ridgway, a well known science and ornithological artist. The back of the card has information about the particular bird and an ad for some aspect of the Singer Sewing Machine empire.
