This 1947 Singer Featherweight 221 is remarkably gorgeous in candy apple red with silver decals! Completely restored inside and out – this Featherweight 221 will be ready to sew (or display) right out of the case with its stunning appearance. 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. AH318*** indicates an original commission date of October 28th, 1947.
This machine was manufactured in the Elizabethport, NJ factory, but it has a few clues that indicate it was most likely sold in Canada: the motor has the ‘Made in Canada’ band, the original manual does not have a revision date, and the Singercraft Guide that came with this machine has a very rare Made in Can. box.
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.
