This is a Singer Featherweight, their is a serial number on the bottom that you can go to singer.com and find out the year she was born, I have several of these little beauties and just love them, and by the way, they do have a table that was manufactured for this machine, you can look on e-bay and should be able to find the table, Congrats, this looks great :thumbup:

My mom used to call her FW (now one of 3 in my craft room) an 'Eleven Pound Portable'......anyone know it by this name?

Yours is the second Featherweight that has shown up in the last few days that even has the beautiful scroll plate. Mine is the plain-Jane plate.

It is a featherweight. There should be a number on the bottom so that you can look up the year for it.

Also, I have a featherweight which was purchased by my MIL in 1945. She got a table with it. Basically it is like a card table with folding legs and has a cut out area to set the machine in.

I saw one other like it on EBay. You might check there to see if they have another.

There is a folding table (wooden) that you might find on e-bay they seem to have them once in a while but quite pricey!! Are the numbers on it 221 or 221K? If so it is a featherweight. They are very portable and sew like a dream. Have fun and enjoy her. My featherweights name is "Licorice".

Found my table at a used furniture store for $20. Obviously they didn't know what they had!

I think there were also some small desk size tables that were made, but they are really hard to find. Congratulations!
