Is this a featherweight?

Mariah 04-16-2010 12:27 PM

Yes, I would say so. It looks just like mine.
Do you have a book with it? That would help to for sure, identify it.
There is another series of machines made about the same time that look almost like it that aren't featherweights. My friend thought she had a f.weight, and found out it was the other.
I see my repairman tomorrow, as mine had to have a new bobbin case. I will ask him the name of the otherone and get back with you.
If it looks like I forget, send a pm to Marta, and I will give the info. then.
Mariah.

Does the front of the machine fold up ?

Don't know exactly what this is, but I do know it is not a Featherweight. I'm sure others here can help you determine what it is. I love old machines - I think she is beautiful!

You can tell by the serial number. The enclosed link gives information of Featherweights and the Serial Number for them.

I have the number G729193, and I think the last number is an 8. Is there somewhere that only has the numbers of the featherweights, that I can look this up?

Is there a small plaque on the front of the machine under the larger riveted medallion? If there is a number, it is the type of machine 66, 99, ect

skavanau 04-16-2010 12:52 PM

what is 66, 99, ect?

skavanau 04-16-2010 12:56 PM

Would you think this is worht 50.00 if it isnt a featherweight?

I found this on Singer website
Letter From To (Model No.) Allotted Allotted Allotted Notes
G- 7290676 7300675 115 10000 August 28 1919

So, I think it is a model 115, born in 1919.
