Description

Two Singer Featherweight 221 machines, both in glossy black japanning with gold-leaf script — one reads “SINGER” in bold decal lettering with a domed brass rosette badge, the other carries the more formal “THE SINGER MANUFACTURING CO.” scrollwork alongside a smaller round motor badge. Each retains its fold-out extension bed, chrome tension assembly, and knee-height spool pins, with visible wear consistent with decades of use: light surface scuffing, some dulling to the japanning, and honest patina on the nickel fittings rather than pristine plating. Sold as a lot as-is, these are working-era portables prized by collectors and quilters alike for their compact cast-metal frames and smooth-running mechanics — a pairing that lets a buyer compare two distinct decal styles side by side.
