The penguin is an original singer walking foot and folded inside the wee box was the original instruction book. The last one I saw went off ebay at $585, worth almost 3 times more then I paid for the FW!

I won mine on ebay about 4-6 weeks ago. Also took a class on care and feeding of FW. I have polished and wazed her, she sews beautifully. I have pieced with her every night this week after work; have 3 quilts in progress all pieced on Lizzie.
She was born the same year as me 1952; DH wants one for his B'day in Nov. His birth year is 1951; I would love to find a badged cenntenial for him:)

I have a 221 and the card table for it. I love piecing on it. Last night I tried piecing on my very fancy big machine, and it doesn't sew the same wonderful straight line. It made me remember why I so adore my featherweight!!!

Last year I didn't even know what a Featherweight was until I joined a sewing group since then I bought a 1953 FW on ebay (which is the same year my sister was born in). So about 3 months ago I found a 1957 FW on ebay and I bought that one too because that is my birth year. So now I call them by our middle names. I use the 53 the most - she sews beautifully and I take her with me every week to sewing group plus she will be going with me to the sewing retreat in Lincoln City, OR in 2 weeks that 18 of us from Washington, Oregon and Northern California are going to.
I will have to take some pictures of them and post.
Thanks,
