I have just inherited this machine from my MIL. I have dated it as a 1936 model. It was in a factory in Savannah and had been converted to electric before my MIL bought it when the WPA dissolved and closed the sewing room. The Serial Number is AE199.247.

I don't think it is... sorry :(
But it is a great machine to own :D:D:D |
No...not a featherweight...it's a 201 :)
How fun to know the history of the machine!! |
No, not a featherweight. They are much smaller. One thing to always look for in a featherweight is the table to the left of the needle folds up over the end pf the machine.
You still have a treasure. Enjoy it. |
Its really pretty!
|
If it's a 201, that's a wonderful machine to have! They are workhorses and last forever.
|
Thanks for all your replies. I am happy to have this machine and I will treasure it!

It may not be a featherweight but it sure is pretty.

Yep! Actually, the feed dogs drop on the 201 models...or they do on mine anyway...you have to lift the machine and flip a lever on the bottom to drop them...it's a great FMQ machine! :)
