I have two, I paid $225.00 for my first one a 1936 model. I'm always looking on Craigslist for vintage Singer's and saw a posting for a vintage portable Singer for $100. It turned out to be a 1955 Featherweight--it was in perfect condition--needless to say I bought it. I love both of them--I want to pass these on to my granddaughters--I have three. I'm on the lookout for another one if the price is right.
