Singer Featherweight 221 Sewing Machine
#1
I found an estate sale that has a Black Singer Featherweight 221 Sewing Machine with attachments and case for sale for $275.00
Is this a good price? I don't have the money for it, but thought I would let others know if they live near Loudon, TN. They could PM me and I could give them the info where to look at the picture.

If the machine is in good shape, cords not rotten, decals bright and intact, bed not scratched, case not musty, book and attachments there, it is a fair price. I've seen featherweights priced from $50 to $800 and everything in between. I have noticed that they have come down a little in price the last couple of years. Sometimes you can do much better at an auction or a garage sale if the owner doesn't realize that they are collectable and just consider them an old Singer. About a month ago, I was lucky enough to pick up two featherweights when the daughter was cleaning out her mother's and aunt's house in good condition for $30 each as she had no idea of their value. I guess it all comes down to how eager you are to have this machine and what is the overall condition of it.

The price is okay, but not a bargain.
