 1939 Singer
Featherweight 221 Sewing Machine (AF255066) An
early vintage Featherweight in exceptional condition! Rarely found
in this kind of condition this 1939 Featherweight is one of the nicest
you are ever likely to see. It has been extremely well
cared for. When I serviced it I found it to be exceptionally
clean, and it needed little in the way of adjusting to produce that
perfect Featherweight stitch.
Cosmetically it is extremely bright and shiny. The gold
decals are in excellent condition which is highly unusual for an 87 year
old machine. It has the beautiful features of the
pre-WWII model 221 Featherweights---the Egyptian scrollwork faceplate,
the chrome rimmed handwheel and chrome plated stitch length regulator.
The carry case is in very good condition and is complete with the upper
tray. A host of accessories are included as well as a nicely
reproduced copy of the instruction manual. And the icing
on the cake is the little "Singer Sewing Service" booklet---which
documents the original owner's details and includes a bunch of unused
coupons for things like sewing lessons, free servicing, style
consultations, and other assorted Singer shwag---that has stayed with
the machine all these years!
This one is a great choice if you are looking for a
Featherweight in top-shelf condition with additional collector appeal!

 1948 Black Singer Featherweight 221 Sewing Machine (AH551175)
A fabulous '48 Featherweight! This Singer is 78 years
young---a true beauty and still a workhorse! I always find it
interesting to view these vintage Singer Featherweight sewing machines
within the context of history, in this case the dominant event being the
end of World War II. In fact Singer manufactured only a fraction
of the number of sewing machines during the period from December 1941 to
September 1945 compared to the numbers they produced from 1946 to 1949.
Imagine the collective sense of relief and optimism that followed the
end of the war. Emerging from a period of years when families'
plans were put on hold, when everyday necessities were rationed, and
when manufacturing was geared toward the "war effort", this post-war era
must have felt like a new beginning. And indeed the
Featherweight became something of a symbol of newfound optimism and hope
for the future. This 1948 Featherweight 221 is a testament to that time in our history.
Completely serviced and ready to sit down and sew on, this Featherweight
is squeaky clean and tidy, with just minimal loss to the gold decal
along the front edge and a less-than-average amount of pin-marks.
The carry case is tidy-clean as well. A host of original Singer
Featherweight attachments are included as well as the original Singer
instruction manual.
This is a lovely machine ready to serve the next generation of
sewing enthusiasts! $725 LCM--48-FW
 1950 Black Singer Featherweight 221 Sewing Machine (AJ579915)
Another great mid-range choice!
This Featherweight 221sews beautifully and is totally serviced
top to bottom and ready to go. It's in very fine mechanical
electrical condition---inspected, cleaned, oiled, adjusted, and sew
tested. And guaranteed to be a great worker!
Cosmetically
this Featherweight is bright and shiny with just minor pin-marks noticeable to the clearcoat finish.
There is virtually no loss to the gold decals so it's just as pretty as
can be.
It is complete with the Singer attachments you see pictured
along with the original Featherweight instruction manual. The
carry case is in excellent clean and sturdy condition as well.
This Featherweight is ready to get back to work---I guarantee
you'll love the way she sews! $750 LCM--50-FW
 1955 Black Singer
Featherweight 221 Sewing Machine (AL949352) A
true classic---71 years old and still looking like an elegant lady!
Oftentimes Featherweights from the later 1950's saw relatively little
use---the heyday of women sewing clothing for the family and the home
was coming to an end, and quilting hadn't yet experienced its
modern-day renaissance---and that seems to be the case with this one.
This 221 still retains it's gorgeous shine and striking
reflection to the clearcoat finish. The geometric
design gold decals are bold, showing virtually no loss or wear.
It's exceptionally clean inside and out, completely serviced, and sews
that perfect little Featherweight stitch so it's ready to sit down and
sew with right out of the box!
Being a late 1950's model this machine is outfitted with the graduated
increment throat plate. The original Featherweight attachments
pictured are included as well. The carry case is clean and sturdy.
The original Singer Featherweight instruction manual is also
included as well as the collectible Singer tin litho oil can.
If you are a little on the fussy side this one will be a great
choice! $1250

Hard-to-Find Special Singer Items
 Singer
Featherweight 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
Blindstitch Attachment #160616
Stocking Darner in original box with instructions #35776
Singercraft Guide #120987 with instructions
Universal Needle Threader and Seam Ripper #121634
Singer Oil Can
"Singer Fashion Aids for Smart Finishes" booklet
Very functional and very collectible!
