This Singer 1940 Featherweight Electric Sewing Machine Model 221, with serial number AF492995, is a collectible piece from the SINGER brand. As a Featherweight Electric machine, it is known for its compact design and reliability, making it a sought-after item for sewing enthusiasts and collectors alike. This machine powers on and motor makes noise when foot pedal is pressed but it doesn't have a belt installed.
We are sure it will need to be serviced and possibly repaired. It does have a new belt which could be its only issue.We have no idea of its history. It comes in its case and has some extras as pictured. Case has one broken latch but the other keeps it secure. Machine shows plenty of signs of use and there is a strong antique odor likely from storage.
The case and machine needs a heavy and thorough cleaning. Serial number website says it was manufactured in April of 1940.
