I have 2 Featherweights, a black one I bought off e-bay 3 years ago and a white/green one that I bought off e-bay last summer. They both arrived in good condition and sew like a dream. I use them more than I use my new Berninas. The grandchildren like to use grandma's "new" machines.

I am the proud owner of two Featherweights.
I purchased my 1964 years ago because I wanted a white one.
Then I just had to have one for my birth year, so bought my black 1954 several years later.
I love them dearly.

I also have 2, "Ruby" (1956) which I bought off a vendor at the Lancaster show last year, and "Sweet Caroline" (1947) I bought from ebay shortly thereafter. I love them both.
Gramquilter2, I have got to figure out how to make a cover like the one on AmyRose......

Was late when I posted and wanted to mention that after mom died and FW ready to use I was told about a group called Featherweight Fanatics -I believe connected to ISMACS in England. Since I had become a widow very suddenly that FW
group was a lifeline for me because I lived in a very remote
area. Other family deaths then interferred with online group
so I stopped posting but now happy to find QB.

I'll add my name too! I got my featherweight on Saturday! It is a 1939, made between July 11 and Dec. 6,1939. I am just so thrilled to get it. I didn't get it with it's original case as that was too bad of shape to be kept, according to the man who had it. He, a sewing machine repairman put it in a green and white case, which I think is for the white featherweight.
I'm still trying to find out what her name is. She hasn't told me yet.
What can I use to polish it up that won't hurt it nor the value of it?
Thanks, Janis
