Found this at a garage sale last Saturday. Took it to be cleaned and oiled and new belt. She works great. I was told she is a 1926. Don't know a lot about feather weights but couldn't seem to leave her.
|
Wonderful find!!
|
Looks like it has been very well taken care of. Shiny and ready to go now.
|
what a treasure!!!!
|
What a BEAUTY!?!
|
good find
|
Have fun with your new baby. She sure is cute.
|
Your Featherweight is a BEAUTY!!
|
awesome findings
|
WOW! What a find! It looks like it was well-taken care of by someone.
|
How Pretty glad it found a Good New Home :)
|
Oh, I'm jealous! What a find!
|
oh wow.. she doesn't look like she was very well taken care of! congratulations and at yard sale.. who hooo!
|
I wouldn't have left her behind either! There is a lot of info on the web about featherweights. Just google it. Enjoy! I just love mine.
|
She is beautiful! She isn't from 1926 though. Featherweights were first introduced in 1933 at the Worlds Fair. She has a numbered tension dial and the bobbin tension is on the top of the bed which leads me to believe she was born after 1934. She is a real beauty for her age!

I keep thinking that one day I am going to find one of these, hasn't happened yet, nice find, enjoy.
|
That is Awesome...congrats!

What a little dandy. Can't wait to get one of those. Well, no, actually, I've been waiting lots of years now. Just haven't found my treasure yet. I know she's out there somewhere just waiting for me too. Hope you got a garage sale price.

She's a beauty! If you go to the Singer website
http://www.singerco.com/support/serial_numbers.html or call 1-800-4-SINGER with the serial number of the machine, you can find out the exact date she was 'born' |
Congratulations! I would not have been able to leave her behind either!
|
Amazing. Dont know what you paid. But I saw several at our Phoenix quilt show, they wanted 400.00 and up!! Hopefully you got a better deal than that. :)
|
Don't blame you one bit! I couldn't have left her either. Congrats nice find!
|
great find - you are so lucky
|
Lucky you! I wish I could find one.
|
beautiful, thanks for sharing, I am still looking for one
|
Jealous! Big time!
|
She's a beauty. I love the scroll work on the faceplate.
|
Wow! She's pretty! Does she have a name yet? :)
|
SWEET!!! :thumbup: :thumbup:
|
Wow :) Lucky you! She's beautiful!!
|
Congrats! Great find! I agree with Mitch's Mom-those seeking FWs should buy a pack of bobbins for it or some such as bait. I bought my first FW from Craigslist, drove a ways away. Took it straight to the regional Singer repair center to buy her bobbins, and my 2nd FW was right there waiting for me-1/4 mile from my house! They are social!
|
She's a keeper! :thumbup:
|
Oh she is beautiful! I have several my oldest on is from 1934 and her name is Abby. Have you given her a name yet? You are just gonna love her. Congrats on finding her, she sure is pretty!!! Let us know when she has a sibling, cuz you've been bitten by the Featherweight bug!!!
|
what a great find.
|
Hope you like it as well as I do mine, I have 3 and use them for all of my straight stitching. The are GREAT
|
I have one myself, was in the attic when I moved in here. I saved this web site that was posted here to find the birthdate.

|
Cool!!!
No one has asked that I can see - what did you pay for it? |
Great find.
