I have been selling Singer 221 accessories and supplies since 2000 as well as servicing, teaching servicing and I have never seen a leather belt.
I have the black v belt on my website (
www.thequiltgal.com) which I have installed a bunch and they last forever. I use the white belt on the white singers and the tan singers and so far they have also been lasting forever.
The machine may have been in a drier area and may be the original belt. They need to be replaced from time to time. It is a small expense to keep the little dears running!
