I turned 60 yesterday (10 Nov) and I have a featherweight made near my birthday that has the 1851-1951 badge. I also have one from 1938. My first featherweight I purchased in Paducah when I went to the quilt show in 1995. It was made in 1952. It is not as pretty due to the decals in rough shape, but it still sews well. And, it was the machine to get me started in my love for the machines. I started repairing, carrying repair parts, and accessories for the machines and in January 2010 started my website!
