The Pfaff 1222 sewing machine is a model whose production dates back to around the 1970s. The following models were made on an almost identical platform: Pfaff 1196, 1197, 1199, 1209, 1211, 1212, 1213, 1214, 1215, 1221, 1222, 1222E, 1229. Which means that there are a lot of similarities with all these pfaffs, many parts are identical. Pfaff 1222 is a sleeve sewing machine with an additional platform, there are also flat ones, but they are quite rare.
The complete housing of the machine is made of aluminum alloy. The internal parts are also quite high quality, it is interesting that this machine according to the instructions is not intended for lubrication at all, except for the grapple, the then Pfaff did not provide any other maintenance. Oil filler holes do not exist on any sliding or hinge elements.
