I see "granddaughters" in your signature line. If the price is reasonable, you could be setting them up with a beautiful machine. If that doesn't work for you, I'll make a trip up and get them for my granddaughters. Philadelphia to Ontario is doable.
Was at a meeting last week and while discussinig door prizes for the annual meeting, the Secretary mentioned that she would be happy to donate things from her home - which she can't move into till all her grandparents' stuff is removed. She was describing things - then said"I even have two of those little Singers in the black boxes,,,"
After further description, I turned to her and said "We have to TALK!"
I really don't need another sewing machine - even if it is a Featherweight. I have my grandmother's 201, my Pfaff 1222e, my Janome 4800 and my daughter's Janome (more basic) - as well as a Singer 99 coming home to me this spring from Thunder Bay. But I have wanted a FW to take to classes, etc. Plus I can't really afford one right now ...
Someone please talk me through this!

Someone in my guild sent out an email that she had one for sale a few days ago. I'm guessing it didn't last long. When I bought mine the woman had two, but I only bought the one. Hubby encouraged me to get both, but I didn't see any reason to have two. That was years ago. As usual, he was right, of course.

They would be a terrific gift to give to your grand daughters and teach them how to use their own special machine. You will be not only giving them a great machine but also memories that they will have forever.
ps... ..if you get them and want to sell, I live closer than Philadelphia ....I'm just a little ways down the 401 from you
