Singer bought the company that made those machines, and some have imagined it was the inspiration for the Featherweight. ------ Joe in New Albany, iN

I do not know the history of the various sewing machine companies. I thought it looked pretty cute and the case looks similar to the FW cases. ------ Proud parent of a Dwight International School Honour Roll Student

Date: 11/8/12 8:18 PM First was Ossan Sewhandy, then Standard, which then also was GE...and finally Singer. The sewhandy preedates the Featherweight by a few years. Here's my Seafoam, a 1929 Sewhandy The case is very similar to the 1933/1934 green interior FW cases. -- Edited on 11/8/12 8:19 PM -- ------ I heart Panzy, Pfaff Creative Performance, the sewing machine love of my life!
