You could have Billy (Lostn51) paint it for you for about a 1/3 of the price. He does beautiful custom work.

I have a red one which I ordered custom painted (my avatar) - certainly did not pay what they are asking.

Mine has the scroll face, box of attachments and the original case.

I think the red one is beautiful but seriously, those prices?

When we had our auction prior to moving into the apt., I thought I had reached the jack pot when my featherweight went for $250. It was in excellent shape and sewed the mot beautiful straight stitch. Many times I wish I still had it.

Oh my goodness! If anyone buys it, I want to see their picture!

There is a company on the net that paints these, and does a very nice job from what I can see of them

I have seen a featherweight free-arm for sale for $1000 at an antique store, just didn't want it THAT bad! Some friends just gave me a featherweight in the org. case just cause she didn't sew or quilt and i did! God love your friends!
