We are very excited to add this lovely French 221K to the site. Completely serviced, cleaned, polished, electrically inspected, timed, tuned and sampled – rest assured, this Featherweight 221 will be ready to sew right out of the case. This machine is fitted with its original 110v motor that has been rewound to work at optimum speed and torque.
You might be wondering, “what makes this a French Featherweight?” This machine comes with its original French manual, an original 110v motor with Alternate Power decal, and a very interesting French Decal on the back arm of the machine. This machine was manufactured in the UK but sold in France and has the French decal to indicate where the machine was produced. These machines are quite rare and a unique installment for all Featherweight collections.
