This Singer Featherweight 222K is absolutely stunning in Royal Cobalt Blue with gold decals and gold plated parts! Completely restored inside and out – this Featherweight 222 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. A voltage converter is not needed in the USA or Canada. Be sure to click on any image above to view the beauty of this incredible machine and the restoration quality. EJ618*** indicates an original commission date of March 31st, 1954.
This particular restoration has been dashingly dressed up with several 24K gold plated parts. Notice the gold faceplate, needle plate, sew/darn indicator, bobbin winder, and stop back motion knob; as well as several other screws. While gold plated parts are not original to the Singer Featherweight, they are quite stunning and unique extras!
