$20 Featherweight
 
Oh my gosh! I was at my sister's yesterday and she had been to a yard sale at the retirement center where my mother lives.
She got a 1940's Featherweight in mint condition for $20. Everthing is in perfect condition. It has all the original parts, etc.
I was drooling. Even though I have my mom's from 1948 that I learned to sew on, her machine is definitely in better condition.
You just never know what you'll find someone selling that doesn't know what they have.

Good for you. I keep hoping to find a real steal--I know that they are out there! Enjoy!

WOW, what a great find. I thought I did real good when I found one in very good condition for $125.

Wow! Wow! WOW!!!
I guess that the former owner didn't have a clue what she had....

A great find...few people will ever get such a deal...(except my 4 grand daughters who will each get one from me), hope she will enjoy it.
