MarieM, I don't know if this has been answered or not? Some of Singer's records just were not kept. Your machine was made as you said in Scotland sometime after 1935, but the Singer site does not list the allotted dates for the FA series. I also looked in the "Featherweight 221 The Perfect Portable by Nancy Johnson-Srebro to see if she found out anything more as she has done extensive research on the FW. She states ," FA - no mention of the FA series at Clydebank."
Sorry we couldn't help. It is fun to know the correct year of your machine.
