I looked at my FW table and it has metal legs , with a wood top and cutout to set machine into. No name stamped on bottom like yours. Would still use it as an extension to the reg table for more room. Like the top.

I pd $105 for mine with no shipping. got it at a local auction sale. In some of the quilt mags there is a guy who makes the repro's for $179 plus shipping.

The repro's are made by the Lyle's...with the website that was listed earlier

If you only have a set of the treadle legs...get a piece of scrap marble or granite...maybe a piece of countertop...and mount it to the legs...makes a great looking side table.

Ditto...don't think it's a sewing table...for a FW...Just an oridinary card table's name.

you could also have a cutout in the top and use that for a sewing machine, just leaving it out with a cover on it.

Singer featherweight tables have metal legs, serial # and wood tops, I have 2 of them, plus my mother in law used to work for Singer Sewing machine company and that is all she sold. The serial # tell what type of machine will fit the opening.
I think it's a card table that was made in the 1930 or about that time. I have one that has wood legs and a vinyl type top, not sure what the top is made of.
I have a treadle base that I had a new top made for a feather weight. Lots of cabinet shops will make one if you don't rush them for a reasonable price. You will need to take a drawing to them with the length, width, cut out size and type of wood. Lots of time they make wrong cuts and have scrape boards, a lot cheaper.
