Meet Penelope a Featherweight 221K7 born 1964
Penelope was one of a lot of 5 Featherweights I purchased two months ago. My son and daughter in law brought them up to me from Calif last week just in time for my birthday. All of the girls are in really good condition, nice cases and none smell. Each of the sewing machines came with a manual and attachments. The seller also included the book, Featherweight 221, the Perfect Portable by Nancy Johnson-Srebro. What an awesome book if you want to learn the history of the Featherweight. As hard I tried I could not get a good picture showing the actual color of pale, pale celery green. Nope, not white at all.
Note that this machine is hardwired to the motor, the faceplate is molded metal and painted and the swing bed extension is 2 inches shorter than regular model 221s. Also the badge is very different from other Singer badges. If I had not received the Featherwieght book I would have thought that the badge was all wrong.
