Featherweights don't seem to be that rare. I see them for sale frequently. I currently have 3 black ones and one white. And I have an old 15-99. All are in reasonable condition, not great. I would love to paint one or two of my black FWs. I just don't know what colors I would choose!
I also have a 301, a Rocketeer, a couple of Red Eyes, an unknown Singer, a Brother Project Runway machine, A Pfaff 2134 and a Janome 6500.
I need to get rid of some..
