A couple of years a go I bumped in to a blog page on a little green sewing machine, I think was called Sewhandy. Until then I always though the Featherweight was one of a kind, but Standard Sewing Company and General Electrics made comparable machine. It looks so nice, and I don't understand why it didn't become as popular and enduring as the black Singer model. According to the page Singer ended up buyting the company who had lisence to the machine.
Here is a link to a virtual museum page on it. Has anyone seen it in real life? If it's cast iron it would be on the heavy side, but if it's aluminium it probably a light weight.
And here is a picture from the Sewmuse page.
