well I'm glad I'm not the only one - I have 2 featherweights (not bad in appearance but definitely not a '10' decals are rubbed, etc) and then got my mom's which is a centennial and has some scratches (she didn't do it bought it that way) and the other day I saw one with my mom's birthyear at a shop - so far I"ve held off - partly because I've ore than blown my sewing maching budget this month BIG time and partly because it's not a good price like yours and I just can't decide notlike I don't already think of my mom esp when I inherited a good sized herd from her...but this one is sooooo pretty..sigh.I wouldn't even care about the case since I carry mine in a different bag
and I'm only at 40 something on vintage and antique machines!
