I just acquired another Featherweight and she is a beauty. I found her on Craigslist. The guy was asking only 180.00 so I took that much in, but when I got there I got brave and asked if that was the least he would take. He said 150.00 so I jumped on it. It is complete with the case but no extras. We met in a parking lot, so there was no way to test it, but it turned out to work quite well. It sounded sort of clunky at first but after a cleaning and oiling it works great. It is a Centennial Edition, 1951 birth.
So now I have three, a two tone green repaint and a black one, and now the newest youngster. The first two are 1936 and 37, I think. I do think they are like potato chips, just an not have one. My husband is so funny. He actually watches for them on CL and other places. When I found the last one I told him that I really didn't need another but he insisted I call the guy. He seems to appreciate the craftsmanship and the simplicity. I love that I can work on them pretty much all by myself.
Plus most of all, they are just so dang cute!
