am not hopeful. the listing is no longer on craig's list. :(
but -- good thing is that i have spent lots of time on ebay checking the various prices of the models 221 and 222.
i don't need the machine - already have 4 -- but am in love with the old featherweights. thanks for your responses.

Hi Judy,
Another little 2 cents from me :)
I have several machines as well but I have been using my Featherweight more than any other! They are just wonderful.
Hope you get one eventually- I'm sure you will!! :D

I'd get it in a heart beat. I have 1 featherweight already and 3 other old machines. Now all I want is a 1954; the year I was born and a centinial one. I don't have a green one so that would be icing on the cake. If it runs it's a good deal.

no response from the Craigs' List featherweight, but I found a 1950 221-1 featherweight available at a reputable sewing machine repair shop -- complete w/accessories - serviced - new cord - a case but not the original - for $250.00. I think he said he'd even give me a 1/4" foot if I needed one. I think that's a fair price --- what do you think?

What do you think? In case anyone is interested in seeing it, it is on Craig's List in Indianapolis, specifically Carmel, and was posted on 7/26. I would of course make sure it worked before purchasing.
