This is a white FW. You can see how different the bobbin winder is on the tan FW is, from the one on the white FW.
Also the Singer badge is much different on the 2 machines.

The only thing about it is look at the card and the thread on the machine and beside the machine. I had 2 white ones in my possession and they were almost blue they were so white.

Here is an example of the white vs the tan. I found out from a friend that they had the Tan in the 1960's which that badge is from.
