We found this fw table at a yard sale, my husband reconditioned it. The lady had it for about 50 years. It turned out beautiful.

Thank you Sue. They are hard to find and yes very pricey. The woman we got it from knows my husband so she just gave it to us. :) I just got lucky.

What a gorgeous table that allows the machine to be set into it. You are so lucky! You have the flexibility of a built in and the portability of the machine without the table.

Congrats!

Are you familiar with the Featherweight Centennial models? I discovered mine was one about 10 years after I bought it at a flea market in Calif. Singer made only a limited amount to celebrate 100 yrs., I think 1851-1951. That particular model sells for slightly higher than other models.
If anyone is interested in learning if they own one, I will tell you how to identify them.
