I've tried to search online for info on it but have found nothing. Is this a common thing thing for the machine?

About the white one....I was told they were manufactured as part of an agreement to the Native Americans for some reason which I can't remember. Like with the black machine, I have been unable to find any information to back up her claims. Does anyone know anything about these things?

Thanks for reading.

Ronnie, I have 6 black featherweights and they all have Singer on the top of them. I also have 4 white with the green tint to them and I don't believe the story about making them for the Native Americans Most where made in Scotland and there is also a tan one, the tan ones are rare, the other 2 colors are abundantly for sale on ebay, check them out.
I hope this helps.
