Featherweight 221-Black	The Model 221 FEATHERWEIGHT was introduced by The Singer Company at Chicago World’s Fair in 1933. Since then it has earned a reputation of being one of the most durable sewing machines ever made. Built of aluminum, it weighed only 11 pounds, while most other portables of its time weighed 25 to 40 pounds. The black Model 221 is the most common of all featherweights. There are two types of face plates, straight & fancy scroll, balance wheel with or without chrome, and two types of gold detail, the early and later version.
Featherweight 221K-White	Featherweight 221J-Tan
The white Model 221K was built for a short time in the 1960s in Clydebank, Scotland. It has a shorter bed extension and the motor controller is wired directly into the machine and motor.	Built in the early 1960s in Quebec, Canada and Clydebank, Scotland, the tan Model 221J is quite rare. It has a painted face plate with no decals.

Singer's FEATHERWEIGHT Model 222 is a free-arm version of their Model 221. This machine was built at only their Scotland facility from the 1950s through the 1960s. It is a very unusual sewing machine and is extremely rare and valuable.
HAND-CRANK Sewing Machines shown at right are vintage 1900-1945. They originally were electric models, but the motors were not in working order so they've been transformed into hand-crank units. They vary in style and model number, with Singer 66, 99 and 128 being the most popular ones available.	Hand-crank Sewing Machines
Children's Toy Sewing Machines	TOY SEWING MACHINES Isaac Singer believed that if you teach a child to sew, then the adult would know how to sew. Singer's Model 20 (one of the tan models and the two black ones shown at left) were unique chain- stitch machines manufactured from 1900-1950. Model 40D (crank) and 50D (electric) are chainstitch machines from the 1940s-1960s era.
