Stunning unique Featherweight in superb condition. Completely serviced, cleaned, polished, electrically inspected, timed, tuned, and sampled – rest assured, this Featherweight 221K will be ready to sew right out of the case. There are a few components of the machine indicating that it was marketed in Sweden: the plaque on the front, the golden “S” motor, the markings on the light housing, and the manual. We have seen very few of these unique Featherweights. This machine is fitted with its original golden “S” 220-volt motor that has been rewound to 110 voltage to work at optimum speed and torque, so you can plug it in and begin sewing with effortless power.
EH142*** indicates an original production commission date of February 29th, 1952 and it is given a Grade 7+. Be sure to click on any image above to view the machine for closer detail. This machine is in very good condition with exceptional decals; the clearcoat of the machine is crazed, likely from extreme variations of temperature over time. Some photos below the crazing.
