You are bidding on a Singer 221 Featherweight manufactured January 29th, 1957 one of 20,000 allotted for that date (according to the Singer Website) in Elizabethport, Elizabeth, N.J. factory. Ser Nr. AM684596
It is A Quilters & Collectors Dream Machine. Notice the beautiful simplicity of the striated face plate. The known performance of the sweet little 221's with an up dated, cleaner design for the times.
This 221 Featherweight is a sweet machine and one I have had in my personal collection due to the age of the machine. 53 years young! The finish and decals show the results of loving projects she has made and she works beautifully. We collect Singer Machines that are in top condition within the 8-9+ range in the Roxie Scale. If I collected all Singer Machines, I would need to build another 5000 Sq Ft to house them. I already have two dogs (Roxie and Lily) and do not need Sewing Machine Dogs in my collection. If you decide to collect Singer Machines, guess what, many of them are DOGS.
It is smooth, quiet, and powerful. It stitches forward and reverse and nice straight stitches.. The tensions are perfectly adjusted, no skipping stitches, no puckering. I personally test and adjust after cleaning to product a perfectly locked stitch.
I should mention that the foot control is in great condition and the cords are fine and actually fit your machine. The machine can go from slow to fast and in between speed with perfect control.. No jumping speed straight to blazing fast.
This machine has not been abused, neglected, or stuffed away in some closet, attic or garage, and that makes all the difference. It was recently cleaned, oiled and lubricated, and has a new inside felt pad like a Spa for Featherweights. All else was fine. So, you can bid with confidence that you will get a WORKING machine in great condition. This is a collectors item!
Yes the light works, yes all the original parts are there including the lovely striated faceplate and the bobbin case is original and in excellent condition.
All the chrome and paint shines and is in Vintage Top condition. The PRISM decals are bright gold and show some wear in the fabric path. There are minor pin scratches on the bed. Some nicks and pin marks due to loving use. We always want to bring these minor items to your attention so you will not be disappointed when you receive your machine

I have attempted to describe this item thoroughly but may have left something out you want to know. Since this is a used item, it is sold as is, please look at the pictures and description. If I say it, you can believe it!!! I will take extra care packing this machine so that it will arrive in the great working condition that it currently is in. I individually wrap many of the items, saran wrap the machine and pad box with reinforcement Styrofoam to make sure that the machine arrives safely. Wrapping this package requires over two hours, but it gets there in excellent condition and you can take it out the box and start sewing. I PROMISE!
