The Featherweight Shop's machine shipping staff is out of the shop the first week of February, and this machine will ship the second week of February (7-11).

We are very excited to add this unique and lovely Featherweight 221 to the site. Completely serviced, cleaned, polished, electrically inspected, timed, tuned and sampled - this Featherweight 221K will be ready to sew right out of the case. This machine is fitted with an original 110-volt motor that has been rewound to work at optimum speed and torque.

AF3845** indicates an original production commission date of December 5th, 1939 and is given a Grade 7-.  Be sure to click on any image to view this Singer Featherweight machine.  This unique machine is in fair condition with pin scratches and some decal wear.  

What makes this Featherweight special?

This Featherweight is distinguished by the Singer decal on top of the arm instead of on the light housing.  The placement of this decal was seen on a select few Featherweights mainly in 1939.  One guess is that the Singer employee who installed the decals on the sewing machines was stuck all day doing decals on the Singer 66, 201, and 15 machines...here comes the Featherweight...whoops...the decal got put in the wrong spot; however, an increase in machines from this same batch with the decal on the arm give credence that it may have been intentional by Singer.
