I got my Featherweight at a yard sale for $15.00. It was just sitting in a case next to a chair she was selling---I sat down for a few minutes as my allergies were going crazy and I felt dizzy. Noticed it, asked her how much, she said how about $15.00 and I said yes. I was so happy and cried all the way home. Hubby cleaned, oiled and greased her, put on a new cord and she is still going strong. She is from 1946 and is named Anna after my Granny who taught me the love of sewing and quilting.
