Singer Featherweight 221 Sewing Machine, ES244***

SOLD

We are very excited to add this lovely "Red S" Featherweight 221K to the site.  Completely serviced, cleaned, polished, electrically inspected, timed, tuned and sampled - rest assured, this Featherweight 221 will be ready to sew right out of the case.  Powerful original 110v motor with a quiet, smooth stitch.  Many of you might be wondering, "what does the "K" mean after the 221?"  That 'K' simply means the machine was manufactured at the Kilbowie, Clydebank, Scotland SINGER plant.  During the last three years of production of the black Singer Featherweights (1959-1961), a "Red S" emblem was issued rather than the standard gold-colored badge.

ES244*** indicates an original production commission date of January 10, 1961 and is given a Grade 8.  Be sure to click on any image far above to view the close-up details of this Singer Featherweight machine.  Machine is in beautiful condition with the only flaws being a very small amount of wear on the decals and the factory light decal being crooked.
