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 have 2 FW that are beige/tan that has 221K on it and I pulled
up this site and there is not a model number to match the one
on these. The model number is EV981958. Do you know when
this model was made or where I can find out.

Yep....it's an FW! the case probably had been stripped of it covering and that is why it's an bare wood case, but I like it!
If you seen an 222 for the price u mentioned....better grab it and RUN !! I want one soooo bad !!

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.
This is a #221 not a #222...it looks like a flatbed, not a free arm...
Hope you enjoy your new treasure.

So I told her it was a fair price, paid cash and ran!!
NO KIDDING :D. I got my featherweight for Christmas when I was 11. I still have it and use it... Great learner machine and wonderful bit of history

Hi Gheto hound, Sure looks like mine, although mine is a 221. Hope you got a good deal on it. Mine has a black case which I am trying to get the musty smell out of. It's been a Gem, you'll love it!!!!!!!!!! peterparley

Your 221K was made in Scotland in 1964.
