One of the earliest 222 models to come off the Singer production at the main factory in Glasgow, Scotland, this Freearm Featherweight has survived the years well with just a tad of thinning over half an inch on the rear decal.
| Paintwork is great with just the inevitable light pin marking on the base and the chrome is as bright as it was all those years ago.
This is a fabulous little machine ready to go to work in the hands of the seamstress or the quilter or simply to sit on a collector’s shelf to be admired.
Just a reminder, all my 222 machines are supplied with fully re-built motors (about the only part to get tired over the years) and allow me to give a full two-year guarantee.
Good strong box, complete with accessory tray.  
Machine comes with a full range of attachments/feet, a bound photocopy of the original full-size handbook and a packet of Schmetz needles.
Fully cleaned inside and out, serviced and sew tested before leaving the workshop.
Electrically tested for your safety. Pictures are of the actual machine. Any bright marks are from the flash - all flaws are always described in full. Price includes comprehensive insured air shipping to your door.
This machine. as with all other Featherweights I sell, comes with three vital pieces of special documentation. 1) A certificate giving Singer's official statement of manufacturing date. 2) A guarantee that the machine contains no modern reproduction parts. 3) A dated certificate of electrical safety
According to Singer's production records this machine was born on August 16, 1955
Code: F497
