Singer Crinkle Finish
I was looking as group of older Singers, one with the lovely Egyptian decals in new like condition as well as some of the other guided beauties. At the end of the row was one done in the black crinkle finish looking so dull. Why did Singer go with that finish, and why always in basic black? Were they like the model T in that you could get any color you wanted, as long as it was black?r

I have a couple of vintage Singers with the crinkle finish and like them a lot. I like my shiny machines with the decals, but the crinkle finish is different and more durable if you're going to use the machine a lot.

I have 2 crinkle finish 66s, one, serial number dated 1948, appears to be “factory” and the other was a non-Singer refurb on a serial number dated 1925.
This site has some info, although I don’t know how rare the factory crinkles really are:
