If it were a featherweight $25 would be a steal. Unfortunately that serial number is a model 15, not a 221, according to the Singer site. I understand they can be wrong... but given the price, it is probably the model 15. Sorry...

Cool. Your machine is great and I like the style of the cabinet. Each of my DDs have picked up machines for me in the cities they live in and held onto them until I came to see the kids. It really helps, doesn't it?
If you can identify your machine by the picture I think that pulls you out of the novice category in vintage machines!! Great goings! :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup:

Just wanted to say that as much as I am enjoying my treadle (I completed my first quilt top on it - such fun) I just happened to see an electric Singer in a really nice cabinet - class 66 - maybe a 201. Took it immediately to the sewing machine guy because the wires looked a little iffy to me. He thought it looked good and will make sure. Will send pictures when it comes home. It came with a box of attachments (pretty much the same ones as the treadle) and the original instruction booklet. And it was on half price at an estate sale so I got it for $24.75

So how do I clean the body of my 401A ? It looks mostly like dirt from the garage, not really bad , but does need a bath ?
Any help is appreciated THANKS

The patent date is 1886. i know that does not mean it was made that year. The singer machine is in a cabinet and is not a full size. How hard is it to find parts for the new Home. The arm is broken to the Treadle wheel. I have ask that they come down on the price. Waiting to hear from them. I love this web site. I read this daily. Keep up the good work.
