I got my grandmother's little sewing machine out of the box and took a closer look at it. I didn't think it was a Featherweight because it seemed heavy. It is a Singer Portable Electric Sewing Machine 221-1. Does anybody know when it was made? The instruction book has the copyright dates and the last one listed is 1938.

221-1 is a featherweight # and the book dose not call them fratherweight that is a name we gave them years later. you can fine a # on the bottom of the machine and get inf. on the net. about the machine.
