I bought a 1951 160th Anniversary Featherweight on Ebay for $375.00 plus $35.00 shipping, so it came to a little over $400.00. It was in excellent condition. I bought it because it is so cute. My Designer SE sews a lot faster, has many more stitches, etc. I bought the Featherweight because of its history and it so doggone cute. I'm not sorry I paid that much for it as it does sew beautifully and I use it when I want nostalgia. Also, it is so portable for taking to classes.
