I'd keep the 1936 year one, that's the year I was born. Have to say the Featherweight looks in better shape than I am, LOL!

he gives up alot. And it is not practical for me to keep both. I have 4 machines 2 antiques, one vintage, and the machine I do my main sewing on. Plus I hate spending money on myself, I feel like it takes money away from my family. I could buy more clothes for my boys or put more food in the freezer. Its just the way I am. I am quite sure If I asked to keep both he would say go ahead.

I agree that you should buy a lottery ticket because you are the luckiest board member I have seen!

Wow, they're beautiful!! I just came into possession of a lovely Singer, not a FW, that was born in Scotland in I think 1956! I wish I knew what she was worth...
