Just found this site and I love my Featherweight. My son found it at a estate sale. He called me and I told him to run the machine and see its stich. He knows how to sew. It had some extras and a good condition case. Its from 1941 and from the serial number it must have been made in the fall of that year because they stopped making them as WW2 was started. Paid $250 for it and it works great. Put a new cord and got a 1/4 pressure foot. I use it along with my Jenome and White Rotary.
