Thread: Check out my Antique Singer

Brought this from a co-worker that found it in the attic of an old house he purchased. He says it works beautifully!! Now if I can just find a table!!

I am far from an expert, but that looks to me like the renowned featherweight! What a glorious find! I believe the featherweight was the original portable machine, not supposed to have a table, because it was light weight enough to carry to wherever one wanted to use it.

Lucky you!
