Singer Featherweight 221 - 1938

This Singer Featherweight 221 is in very good condition, and is from a run commissioned in 1938! Cleaned and serviced inside and out, this 221 will be ready to sew right out of the box. The original 110-volt motor has been replaced with a new one for optimum speed and torque. 

This machine features a scrolled faceplate, adding to its attractiveness, an original non-numbered tension unit, along with ornate decals that enhance its overall aesthetic. Additionally, the beautiful chrome handwheel helps preserve the condition of the handwheel surface.

Like all of our Featherweights, this beauty comes with a new reproduction manual, a new foot pedal and six bobbins. The new electronic foot pedal gives precise control without generating heat.

It is fully tuned up with a new motor, LED light bulb, new belt, and new bed feet.
