Default $20 Featherweight
Oh my gosh! I was at my sister's yesterday and she had been to a yard sale at the retirement center where my mother lives.
She got a 1940's Featherweight in mint condition for $20. Everthing is in perfect condition. It has all the original parts, etc.
I was drooling. Even though I have my mom's from 1948 that I learned to sew on, her machine is definitely in better condition.
You just never know what you'll find someone selling that doesn't know what they have.
