จักรโบราณ Singer 12K ผลิตปี1864-1865 USA(154 ปี)

The New Family was later renamed the Singer Model 12 (12K in the UK) and remained in production for almost 40 years, until just past the turn of the 20th century. The characteristic shape of the bed on the early models resulted in them being referred to as Singer fiddle base machines. The New Family was the first high volume mass produced sewing machine. Despite its high cost, its attractive and reliable design meant that it sold in huge volumes and established Singer as the market leading sewing machine manufacturer for next century. As soon as the original patents expired, the New Family design was widely copied by other manufacturers. The New Family Model 12 machines had a transverse boat shaped shuttle and used round shank straight needles which were designated as Class 12x1.
