I just got one in a beautiful custom green paint job for less than many standard featherweights.
I also got the most awesome centennial machine from England, complete with box of attachments and top tray, for under $500. I swear, it is one of the most beautiful examples of a Featherweight I have ever seen and is easily a 10 for condition.
My 222k also came from England. The price was about half what it would have cost me here and the condition was still pretty good.
I still regret not having gone to $1,000 for the one true white, absolutely immaculate machine I have seen, but no way would I go any higher.

That is a custom paint job but they are sure proud of their work. This is ridiculous. This type of ad is what is going to destroy the market for Featherweights.
They are NUTS! first of all FW never were RED!

When I bought my first featherweight about 15 years ago I was told they were rare and hard to find, not so! They are everywhere with all kinds of prices. I would pay no more that $400. and it would have to be in mint condition with a good cast. I agree they must think they r made of gold
