Didn't know the featherweight 221 had a wooden case. Mine's a black one and I think smaller.

I have a case that is pretty bad shape. Maybe I will take on the job of stripping it and I'll let you know what I find. It may take a while.

I'm so happy to hear that it is a great machine.
My oldest dd rented a house about four years ago and the owner's wife had died, and hers was in there.
He let dd have it and when she moved out of state, she gave it to me, bc I oohed and ahhed over it one time when I was helping her with it.
The cord frayed and needs to go to the hospital so it's been sitting in it's cabinet now, for a couple years.
One of these days I've got to take her for a checkup and fix-up!
So glad I looked in on this thread. ;)
