The following chart is provided to help you have a better idea of when your Singer Featherweight was manufactured. The date often given by the Singer corporation as a machine's 'birthdate' is actually the date the batches of serial numbers were released for production. As a classic example: I own a 1951 'badged' Centennial of Sewing machine that obviously is from 1951. However, the serial number on the machine is from 1949. Therefore, the following dates can be considered to be 'close'. These dates and the information in this table relied heavily on many others' research for which I am deeply indebted, as well as my own. They will not be found to be perfect, or absolutely correct, but are provided as an aid for your use and enjoyment. Singer Featherweights were manufactured in three different plants: Elizabethport, New Jersey in the USA; Clydebank, Kilbowie, Scotland in Great Britain; and St. John's (actually Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu), Quebec, Canada. You can quickly determine which plant your machine was manufactured in by looking at the serial number on the bottom of your machine. Serial numbers for Singer Featherweights are located on a raised boss on the underside of the machine. Lay your machine on its back and look on the left hand side of the main body (not the folding extension table). For example, Singer model 99k serial number Y6307577 denotes it would have been made in Kilbowie and the serial number Y63. Gives the year of 1928. Singer manufacturing plants and letter s Note: All the letters in BOLD below are letters that come after the model number, denoting place of manufacture. There is no agreed value to a Singer sewing machine. Much will depend on factors such as condition, style and what collectors are willing to pay, based on what they consider valuable. There are many collectors seeking antique sewing machines. A machine's age is recognized by its serial number. ![]() Peggy W -- Frankfort, IL 'I just want to thank you for taking my order and for filling it so promptly. I start classes tomorrow, and will be all ready to make my first quilt.' Leslie M -- Macon, GA 'Hi Nova! Both the Nova's Featherweight Maintenance Card and foot control that I ordered arrived today. I LOVE the Maintenance Card! I had so dreaded oiling the machine. With your card, oiling was a breeze. Thanks a million! I was worried about the wiring to my original foot pedal, therefore, I was glad to get the new one. Also, I am a Bernina user, so I'm comfortable with the new foot pedal. I have a feeling that I'll probably always use the new foot pedal now. Oh, I just finished making a quilt top on my 1952 Featherweight. Thanks again for the excellent service!' Please note, that I just received the shipment. I wish to say that I am very satisfied with shipped items. Thank you very much for patience and service. I hope we will be in good contact in the future. Best regards and sincerely Yours, R.
