So I am now the proud owner of a Singer 221 Featherweight, in a nice case, with attachments and manual and the original 1964 bill of sale.
WOW I think you got the deal of the decade.
:mrgreen:
Actually, I think it was Glenn that told us how he had one GIVEN to him by an elderly lady who wanted her machine to goto someone who'd use it... lol. But hey, $10 is phenom.!
Yes, I was given a FW by an old lady but it has no case but was in good shape and well used. But hey it is in my camper and works great for piecing outside under the awning. Not one of my favorite machines but light and travels well( actually it sews great for piecing, I just appreciate a little more heft like my 66) I guess it it a man thing-more power :lol: Glenn
