Just bought my featherweight on ebay but I am having a problem identifying the year.....which concerns me a bit as I have not paid for it but am due to pay on Monday. I hope it is a real ad....so far I have not checked with Singer but will do this on Monday. I asked the seller to check again...the serial number begins with AP which two experts have told me that there are no record of featherweights produced with AP...then I read on the Singer site the year is 1966....will have to wait until Monday and call singer and maybe the person who is selling will recheck the serial number. I am so excited about the deal and hope everything will be good!
