This 1941, Blackside Singer Featherweight 221 is absolutely stunning in Tiffany blue with black 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 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. AG014*** indicates an original commission date of July 1st, 1941.

During WWII, there was a moratorium on chromium; consequently, some of the Featherweight parts like the handhweel and stitch length indicator received black paint instead of the chrome finish and other parts like the faceplate and presser bar lifter received a black-oxide finish.  A machine with all four of these components is referred to as a Blackside Featherweight.

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.
