(It also has Simanco 33681 underneath, with perhaps another digit below that, which looks like a 7)
As an aside, I was delighted to see that it has some of the attachments that my FW didn't come with. Will they fit, does anyone know? Many thanks.
EM- 701008 to 751007, model 99K, 50000 allotted, August 29 1957

Thank you Dunster, I will bookmark the website addy. Turns out this machine is older than my white featherweight! Now I have two vintage machines (and an antique Seidel & Naumann)
