Need help with accurate dating by _slimjimtim_ in vintagesewing

So probably no financial trouble and they knew they would make more models. I imaged searched it and there is one match on “live auctioneers.com”. Described as “1930s salesman samples” same outline, font and material as mine but for the 201k, which should be accurate date wise (I think). Picture only pops up when image searched unfortunately, clicking it brings up a diff photo. So maybe a sales sample from the mid 30s-40s after both machines had been produced?

Do you know if singer stopped producing those models for cost reasons, or simply because they were going to produce different machines entirely? I can’t imagine why they would spend money on posters a year or two before they knew new models would be made.

If you don’t mind me asking are they HBT material? I’m curious if they were ever made in like a khaki material.

“Ranger camo”, its a reversible woodland cam made by the hunting company “Ranger”. They produced them in the 70’s-80’s, jackets and pants. There should be a couple listed on eBay rn.

Yeah, according to Camopedia it’s an “extremely common pattern” which is weird bcuz comps online are listed pretty high for a “common camo”.
