Description:

Three 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. Very few light pin scratches on the base. In addition, 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 original (machine, case, manual and accessories) .

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