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:

WOW, what a find! Wish I had one!
|
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".

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