Featherweights didn't come with that many extra feet and most of the original ones, you probably wouldn't use anyway. The original list included the foot hemmer,adjustable hemmer,binder,edge stitcher, gatherer and ruffler. The zipper foot and buttonholer were not included and had to be purchased separately. If you really want these attachments, you can often pick them up at local thrift and second hand stores if your store has a craft/sewing corner. I bought a whole box full for $2. Your Featherweight can use short shank attachments. For today's sewing you probably will want a 1/4" foot, a zipper foot and perhaps a buttonholer depending on what you want to use your Featherweight to stitch. Bobbins are often available at your local sewing machine store as Featherweights are a popular machine. My Janome dealer has them ($1 each) and hasn't sold Singer machines in years.
