Default Singer 221 Made in Canada, body made in USA, living in Tanger?

A Singer 221-1 Made in Canada, with body made in USA, motor of Canada, living in Tanger (Morocco) and sold in Madrid? Serial # AH1939930 aug, 19 1947.


Yes, I bought it yesterday (200$). Incredible, I've found two Singer FW in four days!!
This is in very good shape, "full equip": bobbin case, five bobbins, screwdrivers, oiler, attachements and a manual in Spanish!! After cleaning and oiling it sew wonderfuly.

The only thing I need to change is the cable of the pedal it's rotten... since 1947!!!

The "made in Canada" is fading, I think the golden letters were added after the shellac. What do you think?

Happy weekend!
