This 1951 Singer Featherweight 221K is absolutely gorgeous, restored in lagoon with gold decals! Completely restored inside and out - this Featherweight 221 will be ready to sew (or display) right out of the case. This machine is fitted with an original 220-volt motor that has been rewound to work at 110-voltage with optimum speed and torque. A voltage converter is not needed in the USA or Canada. Click on any image above to view the beauty and restoration quality. EG9647* indicates an original commission date of October 17th, 1951.
This machine features Singer's Centennial badge commemorating 100 years of the finest sewing machines, 1851-1951.
This Featherweight is distinguished by the 'Manufactured in Great Britain' decal on the back of the machine arm. A similar decal (composed in French) was frequently placed on 221 Featherweights sold in France. It is not clear why Singer added this origin country decal when a machine would be sold in the UK, but they are certainly difficult to come by.
