Vintage 1935 Singer 221-1 Featherweight Portable Sewing Machine WORKING in CASE.
Model 221-1 Featherweight 1935 model only 7000 made that year in Elizabthport, New Jersey USA.
Condition is beautiful with light cosmetic wear. No dents, bends, or paint loss. There is some chips out of the enamel on side as seen in photos. The original gold decoration is mostly intact. The ribbed plate is clean. The original power cord and foot switch are nice, however there is tape on plug area tha...t goes in the wall not sure why, extremely clean and working properly. The machine appears to run properly though it should probably be serviced/oiled before extended use, the belt appears to be original and has a worn spot where it sat near the motor stored. There is a great place on line I found which you can purchase a belt or entire tune up kit for a reasonable price. Serial number dates the machine to 1935. Original oil bottle (pretty much empty though, accessories, and manual are included. The machine comes in the original case which is also very nice, some minimal signs of age or wear and handle has more wear and one foot pad on bottom is missing, please see photo. Please see all the photos and if you would like any additional information, please ask before bidding/purchasing.
Measure: case is 13”X 8”X 11 1/2” PLEASE SEE PHOTOS!! PLEASE ASK QUESTIONS PRIOR TO BIDDING THANK YOU!!
