Thanks everyone. The place where my son found this machine does architectural salvage and demo, He went there to find door hardware, he has an old fixer-upper house. so this little machine may have been sitting in a house that was being torn down. So glad they saved it. The guy there said he has 10 containers of salvage to go through in the next few weeks, I gave him my number and told him to call if he finds any other sewing machines. And you can bet my son will never pass up another Featherweight!
