Description

Vintage, collectable, 1951, Singer sewing machine No 221K Featherweight. In amazing condition.

This sewing machine was given to me (in the 1980s) by an elderly friend of mine who had used it to make small quilts and patchwork. Being a professional seamstress myself, I had an industrial Bernina for work, so, apart from trying it out and having a bit of fun with it, I’ve not used it much (or at all ;-)) since then. It’s been in storage a long time but circumstances have made it necessary to let it go.

Please note! It includes a vintage folding tracing wheel with a value of up to $150!

As you can see from the photos, all the printed (gold) decorations and lettering are in almost perfect condition. The storage box shows its age but the catches work well although there’s no key to lock it.

It has:

  • A vintage folding tracing wheel
  • The original foot control and motor: Made in UK
  • The original instruction booklet
  • No visible scratches or marks on the working surface
  • It has 14 bobbins and 3 attachments:
  • Tuck marker
  • Piper
  • Adjustable hemmer
  • It even has the original tube of “Singer lubricant for electric motors”!

Also: The light works as it should It sews quietly with even stitches and perfect tension It all fits nicely in the black box which measures 33cm w x 20cm d x 30cm h.

Weight: 8.2 kg Prefer pick up {in Henderson} as owner is slightly disabled and has difficulty doing the packing.

Any questions gladly answered.

  • on closer examination, it was noted to have some 'pimples' on the plate at the back near the motor. see the 14th photo. Seller comment Wednesday, 8 May 2024
  • Does it still have the capacitor in the body of the machine [you will need to unscrew the single screw in the base of the machine to see if it is there] or in the foot pedal? e***s (925)8:26 pm, Sun, 12 May Hi, There is nothing that I can see might be a capacitor under the single screw in the base, and there is no capacitor in the foot control. Hope that helps buzzybee1 (101) • Sunday, 12 May 2024
