Are you sure it's a featherweight? I have been understanding that the first one's were made in 1935.
Mine is a 1938 model, in pristine condition. She has all her accessories, original manual and has obviously been very well cared for all her life. I got her more as a collectible as I prefer to sew on all my bells and whistles machine.
