before the Featherweight - Sewhandy Volume 1 History

The reason for this book was the recurring gossip and speculation that the Standard Sewhandy machine was the basis of the SINGER 221 Featherweight. After many months of research I realized that documenting the Sewhandy would take more than 500 pages; I have published before the Featherweight - Sewhandy in two volumes. This book Volume 1 details before the design (early 1920's) thru production end (late 1938) of the Sewhandy patents model identification Sewhandy ads and brochures & an OSANN SINGER Sewhandy versus SINGER Featherweight sew-off.The companion bookVolume 2 covers maintenance & repair of all Sewhandy models mechanical and electrical operation advice on buying restoring shipping parts model identification & a specification comparison of an OSANN SINGER Sewhandy with a SINGER 221 Featherweight.
