There is a featherweight listed on shopgoodwill.com that ends tonight. It doesn't have a case and they don't mention the age, but right now it is $85.99.

Justtrish, I love your new, unnamed little girl! I hope you'll enjoy her as much as I'm enjoying mine. I've had mine about 2 weeks and have already made a quilt top on her. Mine didn't come with anything but a bobbin, a presser foot, and the foot pedal; but she sews like a dream.

I want to give her a nice bath and a proper oiling before I put her to work!!

Best wishes with the oiling. My machine did come well oiled so I didn't try oiling her until yesterday. I had so dreaded oiling. Actually, the oiling went great. Now I am no longer afraid I'll miss one of those spots that needs oiling. So get that girl oiled and start sewing. You'll love it! By the way, your little girl is absolutely beautiful! Wasn't it fun to see her light come on for the first time!

Are you like me, when my "Norma" came in, I unwrapped her and as soon as I picked her up and place her on the table, immediately I started wondering about the lady that owned her to begin with.
It would have been nice to see the clothes or quilts etc. that this lady made back in the day. I know she passed because the seller bought her at an estate auction, but I wonder what kind of lady was she. I visualize her as a sweet little lady that loved her grandchildren and probably had a neat little sewing area in the corner of her living room or bedroom, cooked 2 meals a day for her tired husband and maybe had a little garden in the back yard.
Anyway, I hope she can sense that her little featherweight is in a good home, cherished and treated with tender loving care.

Here are two photos of my new Featherweight. It's a one owner and I was able to get a little bit of history from the owner's son. I'll take better photos in a few weeks (we are trying to get ready for new paint and carpeting on Monday!). I did test her out and she runs really well. I think I'm going to need special glasses for threading the needle; I haven't had to do that for a while.
Just noticed these photos are terrible - have to work on that!
