Congratulations Callen on your 1946 featherweight. It is close to one of mine in age. I got a 1945 FW that was allotted on Sept. 19, 1945, just a few days after my birth. Isn't it neat having a machine from the year of your birth? I think so. I bought mine from a member here on the board last fall. Sew-classic here in the US has bobbins and things for your machine, if they ship to Canada.
