1932 Singer Featherweight Sewing Machine + Cabinet + Manual + Attachme - $75
http://kansascity.craigslist.org/atq/3938160408.html Said I had to have it, I've been looking for a FW with a potted motor forever!! . . . . Kidding. "Uh… that's a 15-91 like it says on the Original user's manual… Not even CLOSE to being a featherweight. A featherweight is a 1/2 sized machine, weighs 11 pounds, has a flip up extension to the left of the needle, has a belted motor, and is made primarily of aluminum. They also were only produced starting in 1937. A 15-91 is a full sized machine, weighs about 30 pounds, has no extension, has no belt for the motor, and is made of cast iron." |

I had to reply to that one....
"Lovely machine, but you may want to consider rewording the ad. A "featherweight" is one of two specific models of Singer sewing machines (221 and 222) The 15-91 is CERTAINLY not a featherweight. Laws regarding false advertising can be rough." The seller revised the listing - your email must have shown him the error of his ways! |

I've never seen one with the fancy scroll work on the stitch length selector cover plate.
[ATTACH=CONFIG]424166[/ATTACH] This one looks like it has silver parts where there are normally black parts. Might have to see it in person. |

Don't know if this is giggle worthy or not, but it has been listed several times at the same price. Not sure how rare the fold out card table is.
