Derla, Beautiful machines; however, both are 99s which explains why they're so heavy. The AA 99 was allotted on Aug, 4, 1925, with a run of 25,000. The AD 99 was allootted on April 23, 1930, with a run of 10,000. Both were manufactured in Elizabeth, NJ. I'm sorry to burst your bubble byut I love my 99 almost as much as my featherweight. They are good solid machines and will sew denim (jeans) very nicely with right size needle and thread in them. I hope this helps. Chris
