This machine once belonged to my 83 year old mother's aunt. She bought it when she was in her 20's. I'm guessing it is about 90 years old.
Denise, that is a very nice looking white featherweight, but Charlee and Cathy are right. The black FW was introduced at the World's Fair in Chicago in 1933. The white/light green looking FW's didn't come out until the 1960's. We could tell you exactly what year your machine was 'born' if you gave us the serial number which is located under the machine!
