THIS ALSO SPORTS A 110 VOLT MOTOR TOO! "Are Some Featherweights Harder to Find Than Others?"PER THE FEATHERWEIGHT SHOP: "What constitutes a "Rare" Featherweight? Here at the Featherweight Shop, we do on occasion give out the title of "Rare" to certain Featherweights. We consider a rare Featherweight to be one of limited or even singular quantity, usually, a machine that we have only ever owned, sold or seen a small handful of. Below are the "Rare" Featherweights that we have sold or owned here at the Featherweight Shop. They are sorted by value and not necessarily how difficult it is to come by each one."Made in Canada" Decal Featherweights: Retail Value Approx. $2000We have only had one of these machines here at the Featherweight shop, and very little is known about them. This machine was made in the USA (or the UK) but sold in Canada with the "Made in Canada" decal. Some of the parts on the machine like the motor were possibly made in Canada so that Singer could add that decal and circumvent import charges. "THEY'VE ONLY SEEN 1 WITH MADE IN CANADA DECAL STAMPED ON THE BACK OF THE ARM! This machine was professionally serviced by a trained technician and is fully 110 volts so it's ready to use in the USA or Canada without the use of any type of converter!
