I've become known in my friends circles as "the guy obsessed with sewing machines," and have started to inherit (or be offered) some occasionally... the husband will not let me have too many more, haha. Anyhow, a neighbor across the street at one point told me she wanted to give me her great-aunt's machine. So I came by one day to pick it up...and I have steadfastly refused to become a "Featherweight person" so when I saw the obvious FW case my heart sunk. It got even lower when I opened the case and all original accessories were there, and the badge had the blue border with " A Century of Sewing Service..." I almost dropped it. Confirmed by serial number made in 1951. She got me.
Thankfully AndyTube is doing a series of restoration videos now, and I'm following right along...
