Those 603 and 600s are nice - I think I have a couple real nice non-sledge hammered...

My vote is for a 1950-60s Singer 401. With all those cams it is the perfect buddy for your featherweight. Of course I am partial to Singers - That is all I have - a featherweight, 2 -301s, and a 401 and I use them all for different things

There are plenty of non-Singer machines out there that are way better than Singers. Singer just has the big name.

Was it a model 47? Did it look very similar to this one except pink/salmon two-tone?
