Ugh. More back-filling. >8-0
This antique transverse shuttle sewing machine head with the "ADRIA" medallion badge on the pillar wasn't made by Singer.
Per reddit user crkvintage:
*snip*
Adria machines were made by the "Erste Ungarische Nähmschinen und Fahrradfabrik" [1] in Budapest, Hungary - then Austria-Hungary.
Some bore the Singer name, as "Singer" was considered a generic term for sewing machines in Austria-Hungary. Singer lost the fight for their trademark there, as it was seen as having become common alias for sewing machine of the transverse shuttle type.

(Translation from DeepL with a minor correction.)

The poster depicts the CB sewing machine of the First Hungarian Sewing Machine and Wheel Manufacturing Company, which (and another part of the picture) bears the company's trademarked three-mast boat trademark registered in 1905.
