In my part of the world, Featherweights are more about the presige of owning one than anything else. They are beautiful little machines and if I could get one for $150 or less, I'd like to own one--but for sewing quilt tops, mending, and everything else, I want a modern machine with all the bells and whistles I can afford. That means a lot less than $600 for a lightweight machine that will slip into my wheeled case and go with me wherever I go.
You can find a Featherweight for less than $600, but only you can know whether the machine you areconsidering is worth the better part of $1,000 to you. froggyintexas

"Original 221 featherweight complete with case, all attachments & book. Completely serviced."
The asking price is $600.00, and I was wondering if that is a decent price.
Here is a picture of it.
