What is the "Red S" Singer Featherweight all about? During the final years of production of black 221 Featherweights Singer "updated" the style of the oval Singer badge on the front of the machine from the antique-looking "shuttle and spool of thread" logo to a bright, bold, modern-looking "Red S". The machines were also labeled "221K", the K to indicate manufacture at Singer's UK plant in Kilbowie, Scotland. These 221Ks that were destined for export to the US were equ...ipped with original 110 volt motors produced in their St. Johns, PQ, Canada factory.These Red S Featherweights were only produced for a couple short years so they are relatively scarce, and to Singer Lovers they have become a favorite one to seek out!!This Beauty is a GREAT FIND! I inherited her from my grandmother but since I am not a great seamstress she has been in storage for almost 30 years!! As you can see I set her up today and she sewed a great stitch--check out the pictures! I also tried to add as many pictures as possible. She is in fantastic CLEAN & ALMOST SCRATCH FREE CONDITION!Includes 35 NEW vintage needles!! Some pencil writing on instruction book.BID BUY & ENJOY! This machine needs someone to sew with her & love her!ALL FITS SNUG IN THE WORKING BOX!! (notice slight wear/tear on hinge through fabric. Does not alter box use)
