Hi Quilters! My husband noticed this insignia on my Singer treddle machine, and he thought it looked like a lizard or something. I didn't think it looked like any kind of animal. Do any of you know what this is? Thanks, Suzanna

Looks like a shuttle for a long bobbin.

Looks like a rocket with a handle.

Found fabulous website (sewalot.com) with whole history of Singer. Looks like vibrating shuttle issued on 100th anniversary.

It's Flash Gordon's rocket ...... :D

Seriously though ......

The pointed thing in the foreground is a shuttle
The "X" behind it is two crossed sewing machine needles
The "S" intertwined with the crossed needles is thread
The rectangle just under the shuttle is a spool for the thread.

Caution about Sewalot... some of that info is not exactly "vetted"
