During the last three years of production of the black Singer Featherweights (1959-1961), a “Red S” emblem was issued rather than the standard gold-colored badge. Singer produced under 50,000 black 221 Featherweights with this Red ‘S’ badge making it much more difficult to find one of these machines in comparison with the Centennial badged Featherweight of the early 1950s.
This machine also has a receipt booklet given to the purchaser from Singer. It contains their information as well as a guarantee and a coupon for maintenance
