When they started introducing black cast iron machines into the home
they had to tart them up for the womenfolk.
Singer used very thick fired enamel japanning, same as Stanley and early
Ford.
Any color you want,........ so long as its black.
Hence,.......... decals
This is a model 31, portable early electric, with the humpback oak
case. I thought these were Flora Dora decals, but a girl corrected me,
only now I can't remember the name lol

I have restored the plain cabinets like you have (bottom of the line).
But originally ordered, it could have been this! And this is only a
midline cabinet.
They came up to 8 drawers and very fancy carving in polished walnut.
(oak was second grade)
Singer made more cabinet models than Stanley made block planes
