Gee, you folks who can find them for only $100 - $200 are lucky. I think my area mostly bought Japanese machines and Singer full size machines. If I even see a Featherweight here, it's in an antique shop and it has $250 & up on it even if it's run-of-the-mill condition. Now treadles, we have those out the wazoo, being a rural area. Probably some people would even just give me theirs if I promise to take good care of them and no sell them for scrap metal.
