I believe this machine system to be 100% Original to THIS Machine. The only exceptions being the standard “consumable items” such as felt pads, belt, and needle.

It is estimated as few as 200 Wrinkle / Crinkle / Godzilla FacePlate Featherweights were Ever Available for Retail Sale. Due to Singer\'s extremely poor serial number record keeping and badge allocation practices, it is impossible to find an exact number. I know their badge allocation did not lead to sequential production.Many / most of the machines in this same badge allocation were not crinkle finish machines.

The Rich Wrinkle Textured Finish Shows No Chipping and No Repairs. The only “imperfections”, and the may actually be original, can be seen in the last photo. There is a VERY small “dot” on the table, possibly from the faceplate thumbscrew? However, it is NOT a chip. There is a 3/8 inch place just to the left of the needle plate as you face the machine. Both of these areas were present during ALL of the photos. As you can tell, they are barely noticeable… Even with magnification! I chose to show them because this is a significant investment and “we” ALL need to be extremely pleased when it arrives at Your Home.

The case has a few dings and dents, but is sturdy and very serviceable. The Original Handle has been covered to maintain it and prevent further wear or damage. The case has scarring expected with the age but remains fully functional. The left latch is a bit stiff but latches tightly with no visible damage. This Handsome Case has done a terrific job protecting this amazing machine for the last 79 Years!
