I really
love the color of that sewing machine!! So-o pretty.
I have a question for anyone who might know the answer. Last year I bought a Featherweight on eBay and I just realized, this week, that it is a Centennial model :shock: ....duh!. The model number has it made in Oct of 1951. My question is about the blue and gold centennial badge....there is no date on it. All the pictures of the centennial badges that I've seen have the years 1851-1951 clearly printed on them. I'm wondering why there is no date on my machine?
The date of your machines allotment was late in the year so it could have been made in 1952 and they were not using the Centennial badge then. So that might explain why it has the regular badge on the machine.
