This 1947 Singer Featherweight 221 is absolutely gorgeous, restored in pearl white with two-tone gold/silver 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. EE45284* indicates an original commission date of December 24th, 1947.
This machine is from the 2nd batch of Featherweights made in the UK. When the 221 was first produced in Scotland, it was made in two small batches of just 500 machines. A unique feature of these early 221K Featherweights is the scrolled faceplate that has no scrolling on the thread guide area.
It also features the unique gold 'S' Bakelite motor. These uncommon motors were made in the U.S.A., Canada, and Great Britain with this machine having one of the 220v Great Britain ones.
Purchasing a machine from The Featherweight Shop is a rather distinguished experience. Each one of our restored and repainted Featherweights receives hours of personal care in its disassembly, painting process, reassembly, stitch sampling and overall preparation for each and every customer. As soon as one of our Featherweights arrives in the mail to the customer, the fastidious packaging care and wrapping adds to the unveiling enjoyment, making a Featherweight Shop machine purchase extra special and something to always remember.
