Be carefull they do have 'New ones out and they aren't as good as the old ones!! Also the ones with the fancy Colors! Red/Blue/Pink are not the colors they came in, they were only Black/white/tan. You will pay alot for thoses fancy colors!! 8-)

You can probably put "featherweight" into the search function and you will get lots of good info, including pictures.
