Singer Featherweight 221J Sewing Machine, Tan – JE1589** The Singer Featherweight Shop

This Tan Singer Featherweight 221J is so dainty and pretty! Completely serviced, cleaned, polished, electrically inspected, timed, tuned and sampled – this White Featherweight 221 will be ready to sew right out of the case.  This machine is fitted with its original powerful 110v motor. 

(Technically and originally named by Singer, the color of this machine is called “Light Bisque”, however it is more commonly known as the Tan or Beige colored Featherweight.  But, as you can tell from the lighting, the color changes depending upon its surroundings.)

JE 1589** indicates a machine from the early 1960’s.  Some of the dating for the Tan Featherweights has become obscure due to incomplete records. Some of the records can be viewed here. This particular one was badged and given its serial number in Canada at the St. John’s factory.  Singer was trying to take one of their best-selling sewing machine models (the 221 Featherweight) and give it a modern, more updated color and style.  The distinct color is noticeable, obviously, but the light housing and faceplate have a more aero-dynamic sleek design.
