The Casige toy sewing machine was introduced in 1902 by Carl Sieper in Gevelsberg, Germany. The name Casige comes from Carl Sieper Gevelsberg. Unlike many toy sewing machines, Casige models were made from cast metal and could produce real stitches, allowing children to learn practical sewing skills. Production continued for decades, with a pause during World War II, and ended in 1975. Today, Casige sewing machines are highly collectible because of their quality craftsmanship, historical significance, and charming design.
