Default Spied Featherweight suitcase

I was just on craigslist Wilmington/Philadelphia. I spied a featherweight suitcase in one of their pics and I would like someone to pick this up for themselves. They are saying most of the stuff is $5. The flea market is to go totally out of business in two weeks and everything must go. So, if you can, go to craigslist, Philadelphia, Pa. and you will see it.
The address they list is 2548 N. Front Street. On the next to the last picture there is what looks like a workbench with records underneath on a shelf. Right beside it is the featherweight suitcase with probably a FW in it. And if it is $5, then it will be a real Christmas present for you. I live in Wilmington, DE and I am booked solid and cannot get there.

What did you use for your search term? I go there daily and didn't notice a listing using 'sewing' as a search term. I could squeeze in that trip in the next few days if I could find it, lol. And thanks for the heads up!

I think it actually is a record case as it looks like the lid appears slanted rather than straight. It also looks to be brown, rather than black..... But it could be??? Also they have a refurbished 66 which looks sad.

I used the address in quotes "2548 N. Front St." craigslist Philadelphia

Its with the records and does appear to be a record case. Those were popular in the 50's. I had one for my little 45's.

The curvy bookshelves did amuse me though.

I loved the part about “bring some gloves.”

I agree with the record case thinking. And was equally amused with the curvy bookshelves, lol. Since we seem to have a consensus with on the record case and the havoc that was just unleashed on my household today, I'm going to pass. But ragamuffin, thanks so much for the heads up!
