It included the extension table, knee control, original manual, accessory case with 11 feet, screwdrivers, wing needle, twin needles, darning hoop and brush for cleaning. I cleaned it up and oiled it and it runs like a charm. So keep scouring those bargain sites, your treasure awaits you!
Wow! I just recently checked ALL the thrift shops in Kalispell [in western Montana, my "real" home] and only found one Featherweight, in really bad condition, for $125. Maybe you should've bought a lottery ticket that same day as it was your lucky day. Very glad for you.
