Vintage SINGER 221-1 Featherweight Sewing Machine W/ Case, Extras, WORKS:
$217.50

This sewing machine has been in my family since new. It belonged to my great grandmother then my grandmother then sat in my grandparents garage for the last fifty years. I found it while I was cleaning it out.

It’s in great shape overall. It does work! It turns over smoothly when turned by hand. The bobbin goes up and down as I should. I plugged it in and it ran fine. The foot peddle is included and works. It seemed kind of slow but maybe that’s all the faster they go? I didn’t want to run it too long and damaged it if it needs lubrication having sat so long. I know nothing about sewing machines let alone an antique such as this. With that being said it’s very nice with little to no corrosion on it. All the parts and pieces are there, however the light bulb is missing.

It comes with the case which is in poor to fair shape as can be seen in the pictures. Some of the vinyl cover is missing, one of the latches is broken and missing and the handle is shot. But there’s no wood rot and could probably be recovered. Also, there are a bunch of extras pieces, not sure what they do.

Despite its working condition, please assume it will need some type of servicing if intended for regular use. It’s been sitting for a long time. Thanks

A question was asked if the machine has the bobbin case? I was told by someone knowledgeable about these machines that it DOES have the bobbin case.
