My friend has a Lt green one and it came from England. She had to take it in and have a different motor put on so she could use it. I seem to recall that some colors like white also came from foreign countries. Jan

thanks gramma jean! It sews good but i just wanted to service it first...no telling how long it has been since she used it. Care to share your pic with us? How do we know where it came from orginally? Mine was from middle1963 to early 1964.
I think someone says go to the "featherweight Singer" sites, right?
