I'm dreaming of getting a FW one day. I have an old treadle machine that I use and love it but a FW is somewhere in my future

Congrats on the new machine. Sounds like you are one lucky puppy. |
I got mine this year for Christmas from DH. He is a really good man. Mine is not a Centennial but from what I've heard that makes them more collectible and valuable. You have great kids.

That is soooo sweet and special; a Centennial and given to you by your kids! Looking forward to a pic!

Yes, you have a 'collectors' model. Do you know the birthdate, was it made in the US or UK? Have you read Featherweight 221, The Perfect Portable by Nancy Johnson-Srebro?
|
Have some of your wonderful offspring purchase Dave McCallum's book: "Featherweights & I" so you can proceed to properly oil and lube your "new baby" and, of course, it MUST have a name, so do tell the name!
|
Sounds like you have a Centennial model like mine! Don't you just LOVE those little machines?

Go to this link and you can actually check by serial number the machine's manufacture year. |
The first featherweights were made in 1933.

Glenda - your red FW is gorgeous. What is her name? Mine is Ruby Jewel :-)
