My hubby just got it for me on ebay. I haven't a clue what it is (laughing) I't looked like a featherweight to me, but I just started sewing so I have no clue.

I know the 222 has been going for around 250+ and even in the 300's depending on condition (I believe) The guy didnt list a serial number so I haven't a clue what it is. I will find out soon enough!

The case is wood. In the pic, I cant tell either way.

Look at the model number and then go to this site http://www.singer-featherweight.com/...es/dating.html to determine when your FW was made..

I haven't seen the all wood case like that one has. I'd love to know what year it was made. Looks just like my FW, except for the case.

Yep, it's a Featherweight Singer 221.

Original featherweight cases are made of wood, like in the picture, then covered with a leather-look paper.
