The featherweight is from 1927 and hadn't been used for a long time (all dried out) but got it cleaned, oiled and greased and it purrs. The case and attachment were in great shape with no musty odor! Paid $40 for it----the keys tto lock the case are even there1 |
Now THAT is a GREAT deal!!! Congratulations!! Love your new machines.

I would say you have three sets of winners here. First of all, you cleaned out a space in two homes that held items they obviously didn't value or use, and were just taking up space, and made them some small amount of money --- although I'll bet just getting them out of the way was their biggest relief! And you turned out to be the biggest winner of all, because you now have two very beautiful machines that you will care for and cherish and use, and congratulations to you on that! So I guess that makes Four winners! Those machines must think they died and went to heaven to be in such loving hands again!

I love it when someone who appreciates a good deal gets one!
