I have a 66-1 which is the one that puts the accessories on via back clamp. You are right - it is not a featherweight. I also have a 221 which is a fw. I love them both! My 66-1 came from Canada and I paid 275. It is dated 1914. My FW came from Florida and I paid 182. It is dated 1950.

(I believe fewer were made in the first place). Unfortunately the prices are all over the board. I would not be willing to pay more than $200-$300 for one, personally.
*Fortunately I have mine that was given to me by my Mom & Dad when I was 12 years old :)
