We have for sale a vintage Singer 221-1 portable featherweight sewing machine and carrying case. Serial # AM696701. The machine badge was issued on January 29, 1957, and was manufactured in Elizabethsport, NJ, USA. It has an original 110-volt motor and beautiful chrome trim.

The I. M. Singer and Company began making sewing machines in 1851. In 1933, the company debuted the ‘featherweight’ machine at the Chicago World’s Fair. During WWII, the company’s factories were retooled to support war related machinery needs. In 1945, when they changed back to manufacturing sewing machines, the featherweight was their most popular and reliable brand. The Singer featherweight has long been a cherished machine for quilting and sewing due to its precise sewing capability and easy portability.
