Oh, okay. I Googled and found this picture and info about the Kenmore 158:

Edit: Sorry, that link didn't work and I'm unable to include a tinyurl link to the website.

Did you get it Debbie? Inquiring minds wanna know, lol!

OK I did get it. I have the info on it too. But let me explain my reasoning for thinking it is a featherweight. LOL. I thought if it looked small and black and old like Grannie used to sew on, it was known as a featherweight. Anyway, I haven't been able to find it online but here is the info.
The numbers I have found and name are this: Simanco USA,
125255, The Singer Manft Trademark
AH 396944. Hope this helps you find it Prism99. I think it may be a cheaper one now that you pointed it out to me. But is is worth a million because I was so excited when I found it and it is the first ever I bought at a garage sale. Let's see who can find out first. I appreciate the help.

OK to begin with it is not a sears. Must have had a brain fade. It is a Singer and I googled and found a listing for a Singer Featherweight 1948 AH series. But no more info on it. SO will keep trying.

Well, here is what I found so far. Made January 5, 1948 in ELizabth NJ. There is a picture ofoneon ebay Listing item # 120577917090 for 125.00 It is the right model 15 1948 Singer Sewing Machine model 15. Apparently that year 35000 were mfg. Have to go for now so will continue in the morning. Thank you. BTW. this picturel ooks just like it but the one I have in mounted in a desk.
