Thank you. I am naming her Ethel after my Great Grandmother.

It will just purr for you. I use mine as a class machine and travel with it. Enjoy your new baby. What are you going to name her. Maybe the name of the original owner?

A really great price! I have a very lt. green Featherweight that looks almost white. I don't think there were very many made. It is the only one I have, but of course I would like to have another one some day.

Congratulations on your new FW, Ethel. I'm sure your grandmother is smiling down knowing you've honored her in such a special way. I am the proud owner of three FW's and wouldn't trade any of them for the world. Mine are all black and all from the 1940's, but I am still looking for a white one and a light green one.
