I just checked my list (downloaded befire singer took away accessibility)of singer serial numbers. In the AP serial numbers, there are no 221 or 222 listings. I hope you can find out the info before you pay for it. Or is there recourse through ebay when a seller misrepresents the goods being sold?

I asked the seller to check again...the serial number begins with AP which two experts have told me that there are no record of featherweights produced with AP...then I read on the Singer site the year is 1966....will have to wait until Monday and call singer and maybe the person who is selling will recheck the serial number. I am so excited about the deal and hope everything will be good!
