I’ve been really lucky in the last month to chance upon a number of top-quality Featherweights with absolute minimum signs of previous use.
At first I thought we had another solid 9-condition here, but close inspection of the extension table reveals some small paint flaws – probably original to the machine when it was new.
These appear to affect only the top protective layer and not go through into the paint beneath.
And that paint has a superb gloss – please check out the reflections in the photographs.
Live with those small  flaws and here’s a superb-condition machine available with a financial saving.
Yes, of course, this 221 comes with its correct graduated stitch plate and the late paperclip decals.
Good solid, strong box with zero odor.
Machine comes with a 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 .
Singer's records show that this machine was produced on January 8, 1957
Code: S575
