Does anyone own or know anything about the White Sewing Machine Co Featherweights? I found a White portable on CLs; wondering if it is the White Featherweight.
"The White Featherweight
Moreover, it was in the 1930s that they introduced something completely different into the market. Known as the Featherweight, this antique White sewing machine was everything you could not expect from any other sewing equipment at that time.
Just when everybody had gone ebony for color, White adopted the use of magnesium alloy. On the other hand, they contained a sewing light, which basically guided sewers in more delicate projects or when they're going to use the machine during late nights.
Most of all, the Featherweight antique White sewing machine was very lightweight-it only weighed less than 20 pounds."

Does this mean that the White Co. came up with the first featherweights?
Here is the White portable. Is this the White Featherweight?
