I went to the flea market yesterday finally with hubby and a neighbor, after about 15 min looking I came across an singer in a table...look closer and knew it was an 221 with blue badge (1951) ask the price, he said 100 and then after looking at my shocked face...said 75?? Of course I took it!! Table has a big faded area but if great study shape. Cleaned it up some and ran it, it's quiet and purring along! t was hopping all over rest of trip being excited! It's so hard to find any machines at a decent price.

Ah, the old 'shocked and stunned' trick. Works every time! Congrats on your 221.
nwm, I used TR-3 Resin Glaze on my machines. I use it on machines whose finishes are in good shape but need an overall cleaning and polishing.

Thank you KenmoreRulesAll for the info
Actually I was shocked really at the low price and evidently he wanted to sell it and thought it was too high. I didn't
Have enough money but upon hearing me say what a good buy, my neighbor paid for it after I put down $20 deposit.
And good timing!! As I returned with rest of $. Several people tried to buy it!! Whew, guess it was my day!

Yesterday at dinner my brother told me his friend who works Flea Markets has a Featherweight for sale but this was too far north for me to get.
Where was the flea market you went to in Fl ? I know Webster I-75 Exit 309 is only on Mondays.
I live close to Exit 123 and just got south for the winter. Only want a Singer 201 anyway but no time for scouting.
