Aren’t these little White Featherweight 221 machines so dainty and pretty?! 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 110-volt motor that has been rewound to work at optimum speed and torque. We have never seen this particular motor band before. When comparing it with other White Featherweight motor bands, we noticed that this one does not have the ‘UL’ (Underwriters’ Laboratories) mark. This is a very early White Featherweight – likely one of the first 4,000 with its serial number of EV78078*
Some of the dating for White Featherweights has become obscure due to incomplete records. Some of the records can be viewed here. Be sure to click on any image above to view the machine for closer detail. Machine is in great condition and receives a grade 8. There are just a few pin scratches and very minimal wear.
