201 is a full sized heavy machine and one of the smoothest Singers ever made! The tan one sounds like its a later version or possibly a 191U from Japan.
221 and the 222K is the Featherweight.
Thanks for the info. I did get a serial # and it's listed on the singer site as a 1950 model. I'm going to pass on it as I really wanted a featherweight.
