JE 1598** indicates a machine from the early 1960’s. Some of the dating for the Tan Featherweights has become obscure due to incomplete records. Some of the records can be viewedhere. This particular one wasbadged and given its serial number in Canada at the St. John’s factory. Singer was trying to take one of their best-selling sewing machine models (the 221 Featherweight) and give it a modern, more updated color and style. The distinct color is noticeable, obviously, but the light housing and faceplate have a more aero-dynamic sleek design.
