    I think so. Will know better when it arrives, but the pics on the site were very clear and close so I am confident about it.

    I paid $25 for the Mint Green one I HAD!! :lol: :lol: :lol:

    My SIL picked it up for me a few weeks ago at an estate sale with all of the attachments and case. It was in immaculate condition just needed some cleaning. I traded it for a Singer Model 12 in a treadle.

    Thank you all for your kind comments. And, Billy, sounds like you did a nice deal there.

    You came out pretty good yourself. $180 is a good price for one in that nice of condition.

    I came out great because I got a machine I have always wanted and its not a hand crank its in its original treadle. And the condition is about as good with slight wear of the decals.

    LOVE your doggies! Thanks for the tip, when my machine arrives, if I find I need any other attachments etc. I will be sure to check there.

    This is a great place to find Featherweight "stuff"....

    There is one on craigslist here in my area for $425.00.

    My mother (many years ago when we didn't know better) put a beautifully carved cabinet and featherweight operated by treadle out for the trashman. Lucky trashman!

    I looked at a townhouse today that had a singer treadle in the corner of the bedroom.... Wonder if she just does not have the energy to move it if we make an offer????? ;)
