1935 Singer, maybe the owner had a disability note both brake levers on the right hand side. Online bicycle museum.
This company was apparently founded by Andrew Weinberg in 1902.
As the Singer name is displayed prominently on the down tube, it’s easy to confuse bicycles made by this company with those built by Alex Singer. The difference is that Alex Singer bicycles will display their name as ‘Alex Singer’ or ‘A. Singer’ whereas Singer St Etienne shows the name as ‘Singer’ without a first name or initial.
This St Etienne company appears to have traded off the Alex Singer name – illustrated by its downtube transfer stating ‘Fabrication Singer Garantie.’ However, Alex Singer started his own bicycle company, at rue Victor Hugo, Paris, in 1938. The St Etienne Singer company was already established by then.
