    I recently was at my local Flea Market as I was leaving there was a guy selling some thing in the parking lot
    And I come across this very nice Singer Featherweight Machine with case I know I wanted it but usually I don’t ask how much as usually they are $250 up but because he was just out of the main Flea market and it was the white 221k model I ask he said that it was his friends so he called his friend and his friend said $140 is the lowest I offered $100 he said ok The machine and case are in very good,excellent condition with no scratches and works perfectly it also came with the original manual and a box with few accessories I can’t wait to sew on my new Featherweight if you have any info about this machine please leave a comment thank for checking out.

      Tangoes, Whoops, I'v been busy taking care of real world tasks, and missed this.

      So, a Singer 'Featherweight.' Cool. :-)

      There is an incredible wealth of information about Singer Featherweights at this site:

      https://singer-featherweight.com/

      Yours is probably one of the newer ones, rather than one of the older ones, simply because of its color (unless it's been repainted), but to narrow its age down to a year (or range of years in some cases), we need the serial number, which is on the underside:

      Find the serial number, and add a picture of it to your post, pretty please. };-)

      While I'm waiting:

      Your 'white' Featherweight seems to be one of the earlier models of this color, because of the style of the foot pedal.

      Your case looks like it might be the two-tone green and ivory, but I can't quite tell from your picture whether it has the paper-like or cloth-like covering:

      https://singer-featherweight.com/blogs/schoolhouse/the-white-featherweight-221k

      All of the white Featherweight sewing machine heads were made in Singer's Kilbowie/Clydebank, Scotland factory; however, I don't see any "K" suffix on the manual in your picture, which is a bit curious.

      Anyway, about the Clydebank factory:

      About the white Featherweight (model 221K-7):

      https://www.singersewinginfo.co.uk/featherweight/221k7

      Also, I see something potentially worrisome in your picture: it looks like there might be some fraying of the cord com connecting the foot pedal to the sewing machine. If it is frayed, you'll probably want to replace that.
