Congrats! That's my dream machine, wish I had some of you luck in my area. Maybe it's time to get my machines cleaned. Enjoy your new toy.

Congrats! It took me a long time to find the first one, then the second one kind of fell in my lap. I paid $150 for the first, and $40 for the second, but I waited a very long time to find one like that. I wasn't willing to pay a lot and I didn't want to go the eBay route.

To answer a couple of your posts. From the serial number my Featherweight was made in the sixties. The white ones were only made for less than a decade - approximately from 1964 to 1970, so they aren't as old as the black ones. Maybe that is why it is in such good shape. Not that many were manufactured and that is why they seem to cost more than the black ones. Black or white just a peach of a simple machine. What did I pay for it? Too much by some thinking but for me it was worth it. It wasn't a "need" but a "want". I bartered an old not working machine plus $275 for it. Yes that is a lot but so worth it to me. Thank you all for your posts.

I don't think you paid too much for it. It seems very reasonable since it is so nice.

That's not too much to spend considering the condition and that it will be useful for generations. Nice find!
