Husband has a featherweight his parents got him used when he left home in the 70's. He wanted me to be nosey and ask how much it cost. Sorry, if you'd rather not say, he was just wondering.

Miss Katie looks like she is in great shape! I've read lots of suggestions here to help rid her of the musty smell. Have fun with her!

Hi this is Country1's husband. Mine has that musty odor in the case, which looks to be exactly like yours. Back in the 70's a lady at the sewing shop in Louisville told my parents and me that all the featherweights she ever saw had the same odor. Mom and Daddy got mine off a radio yard sale for $50 shortly before I moved to the coast out of high school to serve an appprenticeship. I used it to sew up torn jeans for myself. She sure is a beauty
