How to Thread Singer Featherweight

According to http://ismacs.net/singer_sewing_machine_company/serial-numbers/singer-p-series-serial-numbers.html , the P481131 serial number is for a 15K. The assembly of the machine started in the first half of 1901. I can't help you with the value.

I hope this helps.

You really need to locate the serial number for your machine.

Valuation is really based on a lot of items--working condition, visual condition, accessories included, item's location, and most of all, how much someone is actually willing to pay. Vintage Singer sewing machines are common since so many of them were made. However, there are some models that are more coveted than others, ie Featherweight.

You have a model 221 which was made on May 24, 1938 at the Elizabethport factory in Elizabethport, New Jersey. There were 20,000 of those made during that particular run which may have been over a few days.

Its value depends on its overall condition and what someone is willing to pay for it. Sight unseen, I would estimate market value for that machine in good running order at between $250 and $400.

Hi! I love old Singers!!! Your machine was made at Singer's Elizabethtown factory in 1919-1920. If you call Singer at 1-800-4-Singer or email them at [email protected], they can tell you what model it is.
As for the value of your machine, there's no way to tell. Appraisals of antiques requires hand-on evaluation, and an appraisal of an antique dealer would be of its value purely as an antique. Sewing machines were really mass-produced and the old ones are solid and sturdy--all metal. They were built to last forever with minimal maintenance and that done by the user. So far, they have an excellent track record of lasting forever, so a good many of them are still around. They aren't rare.
The old machines can be cleaned up and restored. The leather belt on the treadle can be replaced and the machine can enjoy many more years of service. Check out http://www.treadleon.net/ or http://www.ismacs.net/home.html for more information.
Happy Sewing!
