Singer Featherweight Centennials
Singer, rightfully proud
of its company history, decided to celebrate its centenary in 1951 by
giving all machines made that year a special badge. This was the standard
Singer emblem of the time but with the inscription "A Century of
Sewing Service 1851-1951" around the outside of the oval.
These "limited edition" models mad e for only one year are
becoming increasingly difficult to find. Most have 1951 serial numbers
but authenticated models with 1948 to 1952 serial numbers have been
located - suggesting that the company held vast stocks and simply badged
machines just prior to dispatch. The Centennial Featherweights are mechanically
identical to the standard 221 - and only the badge identifies
them cosmetically.
We are proud to offer the following selected
models

The small print
Please note that all 221 machines come with free air shipping and comprehensive
insurance.This takes, on average, six working days. However, it is possible
to upgrade delivery to an express air service (three to four working days)
for an additional $35
Correction. ALL machines will now travel
by AIR EXPRESS at no extra charge
I source most of my machines in Europe
which, although having the advantage or providing the very best examples
, means that most are 240 volt and need either a small converter box or
a proper conversion to 110 volt. To explore these options please go to
