Rating: 44/50 (American Scale)      8/10  (Condition)

Equipped with original 110-volt U.S. motor.

 This 221 Featherweight features a black-banded badge, which Singer had introduced in October of 1951.  Chrome is bright and in excellent condition.  Gold-leaf trim is bright and intact, except for 3/4 ‘ along the front.  Paint is especially bright black, particularly across the top arm, where many other machines of this vintage show scarring.

 Mechanically, the machine is a gem.  Operates to light touch and sews a beautifully, even stitch. 

Included is a full set of original attachments.  Manual, foot pedal and case with side tray are in excellent condition, all original.

Singer 221 Featherweight AJ 140186

Badge Issue Date: 3-15-49 (see dating table)

Rating: 43/50 (American Scale)    8-/10(Condition)

Equipped with original 110-volt U.S. motor.

Occasionally we come across a particular Featherweight sewing machine that has real pitzfaa. This is one such machine. It actually purrs. It operates to such a light touch you can purr back at it rather than push on the foot pedal, or so it seems.

This machine has been exceptionally well cared for.  The pictures fail to reveal the several light pin scratches, primarily because the paint is so bright and reflective. Chrome is in excellent condition. The original decorative, gold-leaf trim on the back of the base is intact. Due to use, the trim on the front of the base is well-worn in a couple of places, but is mostly intact. This machine comes with a full set of original attachments, original owner’s manual and the original leather-handled case.  This was one of the last Featherweights Singer produced with the handy case lift out tray, which is included.

If you love the feel of a machine that has been working for generations and will keep working for you and your family, this is the machine for you. This machine gives you the beautiful straight stitches you can only get from a mechanical sewing machine.

Singer 221 Featherweight AF48 (see photo gallery of this machine)

Item #: 4759

Model: Class 221K

Distinctive Feature: Pristine AF

Badge Issue Date: 04/10/1940 (see dating table)

Rating: 48/50 (American Scale)

Equipped with original 110-volt U.S. motor.

Description:

It is difficult to restrain our enthusiasm for this museum quality piece. The brilliant luster of the finish is breathtaking. Scroll face plate, chrome trim, unblemished decals, nickel balance wheel, original case, attachments and motor are all sensational. This pristine AF appears to have been used only once or twice by the only owner she ever had. The only mentionable flaw with this machine is that if one catches the light just right one can detect slight scuffing of the finish on a couple of places on the extension bed. Although scarcely noticeable, we are forced to deduct 1 point from the 20 maximum points for cosmetic value.

Notice several features about Featherweights of this era. The AF 48 has the newer scroll face plate, a numbered tension knob, the full length case tray, leather handled case, nickel balance wheel, all chrome trim, and high high light decals. Within 18 months, many of the features that set this machine apart were to disappear from the Featherweight. Every detail of this machine is original.

This particular case deserves some special mention. AF case handles are notorious for showing wear. Although they are of a sturdy mechanical design, they tend to fray at the edges, thus they are often wrapped with black tape. This case and handle, while admittedly not in “as new” condition, are as close to mint as any we have seen.

By the way, this machine was made to be used and it is in perfect running order.

Pristine Package includes:

1.) Original owner’s manual

2.) Hinged Presser Foot (fitted)

3.) Ruffler

4.) Hemming Foot

5.) Edge Stitcher

6.) Binder

7.) Gatherer

8.) Adjustable Hemmer

9.) Original Singer Oil Can

10.) Singer Screwdriver

11.) Singer Accessory Box

12.) Three Singer Bobbins

13.) Singer Case Accessory Tray

Red S Featherweight 221K ES 65

Model: Class 221K

Distinctive Feature: Rare Big Red S

Badge Issue Date: 05/15/61 (see dating table)

Rating: 46/50 (American Scale)    9-/10 (Condition Chart)

Equipped with original 110-volt Canadian motor. 

These qualities set this machine apart.

1.) The condition of the machine is superb. Gold decals are virtually 100% complete, just like the day it left the factory. Paint is exceptionally bright. Chrome is flawless. Needle plate and feed dogs show almost no sign of wear. A few pin scratches on the base, and one notable scratch on the extension bed (see pictures). The machine operates exceptionally smoothly. Passing through our workshops, it became obvious that the previous owner treated this machine with the utmost care. This machine represents the finest example of Singer craftsmanship at the height of Singer domination of the sewing machine industry.

2.) The Big Red S badge was placed on only a limited few Singer Featherweight Class 221K models.

3.) Fewer still Red S badged Featherweights were produced for the U. S. market. This machine, with an original 110-volt motor which was produced in St. John’s, Canada, is a rarity.

4.) Singer placed the riveted 221K just below the badge on about 25% of all the 221K’s.

5.) Finally, every detail of this Featherweight is a Singer original (machine, case, manual and accessories) .  The chrome balance wheel is was added for a touch of elegance.

The case is solid inside and out. Latches and lining in great shape. Not a hint of odor.

1.) Original owner’s manual

2.) Hinged Presser Foot (fitted)

3.) Ruffler
