My dad bought one for my mom for Christmas , in 1940 from a hardware store in Alexandria La. It has the hard case and all the attachments and the original book as well. He paid about $90.00 for it. I learned to sew on it when I was about 10 and sewed on it until after I was married when I got my own Singer. I am now the proud owner of mom's featherweight and it still runs beautifully.
