On our FW the serial number is under the bottom of the left end (bobbin end) of the machine on a machined flat surface.

aunt etty was born ( the sewing machine, not the person) in1939 Dec 5
Her number is AF383893
Her front plate is all engraved, not the st lines. Will try to figure out how to put up pics later.

Congrats on your new find.

With that serial number, your new Featherweight was born around December 5, 1939. Congratulations!!! I have Five of the little darlings and love each one of them!

I have two centennial (1950) FW's and love them. You will too.....congratulations:)

I was sewing a whacky bag with ours day before yesterday and it felt like I was sewing with a toy. They are sooooo tiny compared to a full sized machine. I really wish some of my full sized machines sewed as good as our little FW does though.

Congrats on your new machine lynnie! :)
