 1935 Black Singer Featherweight 221 Sewing Machine (AD938611) with
SCHOOL BELL BOBBIN WINDER
This early production Featherweight is marked with serial number AD938611,
which dates it to the model 221 production run assigned on June 24,
1935. Singer had only began producing the Featherweight model at
the end of 1933.
One has to wonder, at this early juncture, if they knew what a winner
they had on their hands!
Think about it---the United States was still in the midst of The Great
Depression. Times were tough and money was tight. Only a
relatively small number of fortunate families would have even been able
to afford such a luxury, and given that electricity had not yet reached
a lot of places in rural America the Featherweight was probably
something that many seamstresses and homemakers could only dream of. Imagine what a thrill it must have been to have owned one then!
This Featherweight has all the hallmarks of the early
models---the beautiful fancy scrollwork pattern on the endplate, the
chrome-rimmed handwheel and chrome stitch length regulator plate,
the un-numbered thread tensioner, and most distinctively the early
style front-mounted "school bell" bobbin winding tensioner. I've included lots of pictures so be
sure to view them all.
As with all the Featherweights I sell, this one has had a complete
servicing and cleaning to bring it to its former glory, and is ready to
sew on right out of the box. A new belt has been installed as well
as new wiring for the foot controller. Of course I've sew-tested
it to ensure it produces the perfect stitch. Despite having some pin-marks and other scratches, as well as some loss to the decal
along the front and back edges, the machine is super clean and retains great
shine. The carry case is also
in very nice condition and complete with the top tray. The original
instruction manual with 1933 copyright date is included, as well as the
set of attachments.
If you have been waiting to find a Featherweight from one of the
earliest years of production be sure to take a look!

 1939 Black Singer Featherweight 221 Sewing Machine (AF175303)
A nice pre-WWII Featherweight with the "Egyptian
scrollwork" faceplate and chrome-edged handwheel! This
pre-war Singer Featherweight is a classic. With it's classy look
and features it is all set to go back to work in the sewing room or
quilting class. It sews really wall and needed very little in the
way of tuning up or adjusting.
There are far fewer examples of these early models found compared
to the later ones, and cosmetically they oftentimes show a lot of hard
use. Not so here. This one is bright and shiny noting that
there is some wear to the gold decal in a few spots along the front edge
and some unevenness to the clearcoat finish. But overall it is
very pretty!
I gave it a very thorough inspection and servicing and
adjusted it to sew that perfect Featherweight stitch and is ready to
take on your next sewing project. The original carry case is in excellent clean and sturdy condition
so you'll be ready to hit the road with it. The set of Singer
attachments pictured is included as well as the original Featherweight
instruction manual.
Ready for another lifetime of use! $750 LCM--39-FW
Tan / White Singer Featherweight Model 221J /
221K Sewing
Machines
 1968-69 White Singer Featherweight 221K Sewing Machine (FA205854)
If you have been waiting to find a squeaky clean Singer 221K at an
affordable price this is it!
These white Featherweights have a look all their own with their
"Mid-Century Modern" styling. They are a little lighter in weight
than the black 221s due to the shortened length of the swinging bed
extension and more petite carry case.
This lovely sewing machine is cool greenish-white in color.
And it's super clean! Fully serviced and tested, and sporting a
new belt, you'll love the way it sews. It's
equipped with the graduated stitchplate making it easy to obtain a
consistent stitch width. The carry case is clean and sturdy and
ready to continue protecting the machine. It's complete with the original manual as well as the attachments you
see pictured.
The hinges on the underside of the bed extension have been repaired and
reinforced with a JB Weld-type product, and then repainted. I had
some paint custom mixed and it's a near-perfect match, as you will see
in the close up pictures I've provided.
Be sure to take a look---they don't get much cuter than this! $695 LCM--W68-FW

Tan Singer Featherweight 221 Sewing Machine (JE159511)
Tan Featherweights were manufactured for just a very short time period.
They are certainly more scarce than the black, and even more so than the
white / green models. Those that were produced in Singer's St.
John's Quebec, Canada factory, like this one, were given serial numbers
starting with the letters JE, and badged as their model 221J. From
a mechanical standpoint the tan Featherweight is identical to the black
model, and it has the same 5 1/2" length folding bed. But there
are details in the cosmetic design that Singer changed to give it a more
modern and updated, even futuristic, "Buck Rogers" look!
This example is in really fine condition. That is
not always the case with these models due to the fact that the lighter
color paint tends to show any marks more prominently. There is a
small nick of missing paint on the tip of the light bulb housing on this
one, but other than that the finish of the paint is in great shape.
And the paint is all-original, and has not been touched up or repainted.
It is now completely cleaned, serviced and adjusted and ready to sit
down and sew with. You'll love the way it sews! It's
equipped with the graduated stitchplate making it easy to obtain a
consistent stitch width. It's complete with the matching color
foot controller, the original manual as well as all the attachments you
see pictured. The carry case is also in very good condition.
If you've been looking for a tan Featherweight in exceptional
condition don't let this one slip by! $1750 LCM--T61-FW
Hard-to-Find Singer Featherweight Accessories
 Singer FashionAids Case with Accessories
The Singer "Fashion Aids" case looks like a child's suitcase with
a removable compartmentalized interior tray with nooks and crannies for all the
attachments. It was marketed by Singer as a way to organize and store all of their specialty attachments for
your Featherweight. They came in several colors---this
one is blue in color, inside and out. There are some scuffs on the
case and the leather handle is missing, but the hinges and latch are in
good shape and the handle rings are there.
There is a nice assortment of attachments that include some in original
boxes---and room for more of your own to be added! Here's what's
included, and all are original vintage Singer / Simanco:
Pinking Attachment #121021
Hemstitcher and Picot Edger #121387 in original box with correct Featherweight-specific Throatplate #121392 and Thumbscrew
Buttonholer #121795 with Coverplate and screw

Stocking Darner in original box with instructions #35776
Singercraft Guide #120987 with instructions
