This 1947 Singer Featherweight 221 is absolutely stunning in Friesen Peony with two-tone gold and silver decals and a kandy paint! 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 110-volt motor that has been rewound to work at optimum speed and torque. Click on any image above to view the beauty of this machine and restoration quality. AH063*** indicates an original commission date of April 22nd, 1947.
This is truly a beautiful color, matched from the pedal of a E.J. Friesen Peony. Due to the transparent nature of this specific paint, slight variation in the color depth can be seen where the housing of the machine curves and comes to an edge.
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.
