They only made 222 Featherweights for a couple of years, 1954 and 1955 I believe. The machines were expensive to produce and expensive to buy. Even regular Featherweights were not cheap. My MIL paid $150 for her machine and got her table for $30 ($20) off because it was scratched. That was an awful lot of egg money in those days. 222's were made in St John's Canada and Kilbowie Scotland so even fewer were sold in the States. The cheapest that I've ever seen one listed for is $700.

That is a nice one. Mine is 110 only and i gave a tad bit more for it but I love it.

I got mine on ebay last summer and it was just over £300 - probably cheaper because it was a Kilbowie one, with a higher voltage motor, so I wasn't bidding against US bidders.

I was thrilled to bits, as it sews much nicer than my white 221 which seems sluggish compared to my 222K - also the feed dogs drop on the 222's, so you can FMQ on them too.
