    Very nice find! The 222's (with the freearm capability) are harder to come by than the 221s, as less were made.
    Thanks, I can't wait to get her here safe and sound and find out more about her.

    I think i'm gonna call about this one. Can anyone clue me in about this model? Is it worth it?

    TIA
    Basically a stripped-down Singer 99. No light fixture. Easiest one to convert to HC.

    What is HC?

    OK, I found this much out. He says it does not say singer on the machine but that he's heard they were made by singer. But I guess I've learned from here that there were other companies that made knock offs??? Are they as equally as good or no?
    I seen one of these in a thrift store a couple of weeks ago.
    The one I seen was the same size as the 99K. Looked identical to it but said Spartan on it. Really a nice machine.
    The Spartan is a Singer. It was their lower line of machines that they tried to sell but never really took off. The Spartan 192 (identical to the Singer 99) was a limited run and they are very sought after. The Spartans and the White Featherwieghts were the low priced introductory models that Singer sold.

    This is the only Featherwieght that I will ever own. I have been looking for one that was not out in the stratosphere on the price. If you paid anything under $800 you got a steal!

    That is a nice machine!!!!!
