Featherweights were not made until 1933 and never were in a treadle. The only cabinets for them have an oval top and two small doors under the top that swing open from the centre revealing a small thread rack and a shelf for the machine when it is not set up to sew. Most Featherweights were portables or in the card table that was available (MIL bought her card table for $25 as it was scratched and a brand new one was $30) You may have a Singer 99 which is a three quarters machine and much smaller than a regular machine but is still much heavier than a Featherweight.

Maybe you can post a picture and we can help you figure out which machine you have. As everyone else has already said, it cannot be a Featherweight.

Yes Rhodim, you have us all Very Curious. :0)

This is just the type of mystery we all like to figure out.

Can't wait to see photos . . .

It cannot be a FW because they were not produced until the 1930's. most old singers from that range make beautiful stitches and most can be repaired by a good cleaning and oiling.

Waiting with the other posters with great curiosity on which Singer you actually have! :)

Didn't think so ........

Fix & Sew.There is nothing like sewing on a treadle.
Have fun and it is worth getting into working condition.
peace

I want to see the pictures, too. I'm wondering if it could be a Singer 99. I've seen people mistake those for Featherweights.

Yeah, sometimes I think Featherweight is kind of the generic for old Singers. Kind of like Kleenex means tissue or the Brits call it Hoovering rather than vacuuming.
