it is not a Featherweight.
A Featherweight has a FOLDING 'table' extension on the left side... this machine does not -
This machine is in a case - a Featherweight does not fit in a case - it's slides into a case (with the extension folded up)
A Featherweight is just that FEATHER light - you can easily carry it in one hand - that machine needs a tank LOL

Looks like it was made in 1919 in Elizabeth NJ. Featherweights weren't introduced till 1933. If it still has the top part of the case and runs it might be worth $50 to someone. The trouble with the value of those machines is that singer was putting out millions of them per year and the people who bought them took good care of them and handed them down so there are still quite a few of them left.
