Are you sure it is a featherweight though? Yours looks like it is in a cabinet, and you said it has a knee peddle. Featherweights unusally have foot peddles...I think?
I'm posting a photo of mine. DOB April 1, 1941. Featherweights only weigh about 11 lbs. Black surface left of needle flips up to store in carrier box. I was lucky my MIL did keep her machine. Now I have a featherweight of my very own!
Still haven't cleaned it up. Someone said to clean the machine with Liquid Gold.

Enjoy your little FW! I have two and love to sew on them.
One came in pristine condition ( named Grasshopper), and the other one smelled very badly ( for now, named Stinky) . I left the case open outside to air for two days, and left a bar of soap in the case and it's gone now.
