1951 Singer 221 Featherweight – Custom Metallic Emerald Green
A true vintage classic transformed into a one-of-a-kind sewing machine.
Originally produced as part of Singer’s May 10, 1951 production allocation at the historic Elizabethport, New Jersey factory, this Singer Featherweight 221 carries serial number AK398566. The serial falls within Singer’s AK389576–AK439575 Featherweight production batch.
This beautiful Featherweight has been professionally refurbished and refinished in a rich Metallic Emerald Green, giving the machine a deep jewel-like appearance that changes beautifully under different lighting. The metallic finish is complemented by traditional gold detailing, the classic Singer badge, and contrasting polished and black hardware.
Rather than simply preserving a worn exterior, this machine has been given a fresh second life while retaining the unmistakable character, engineering, and sewing performance that made the Singer Featherweight legendary.
The machine has been carefully serviced, reassembled, adjusted, and tested for smooth dependable operation. Its compact aluminum construction and folding extension table make the Featherweight especially popular for quilting, piecing, classes, retreats, and everyday straight-stitch sewing. Singer introduced the Featherweight as a lightweight portable machine, and its aluminum construction and folding work surface remain defining features of the design.
