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).
This Singer Featherweight 221 is in great condition, and it was commissioned on February 18, 1946! Serviced and cleaned inside and out – this 221 will be ready to sew right out of the case.
This machine is fitted with an original Bakelite 110-volt motor that has been rewound to work at optimum speed and torque. The motor is easily distinguished from the regular metal motor for the 221. Singer usually installed this rare motor on machines sold outside the USA, and this machine was likely sold in Canada.
