I love my Featherweight. I paid $275.00 for it in an original case. It is white and was made in 1961. Do make sure that your wife does not want any bells and whistles because this one does not have them.

From what I have found its a good investment to go with a vintage Singer Featherweight. I figured the best way to test this is to ask a forum, which is much wiser in the ways of the sewing if what I found is a good idea or not. Also any feed back of what would be a good price to pay for a machine like this would be great. I thank you all in advance for your advice.
Best,
