    I'll bet it's green and beautiful around you! We drove over the Grapevine yesterday, and though there was snow sprinkled all over the mountains - it was a gorgeous day! Can't WAIT for the wildflowers!

With all the cute pictures of Featherweights that have been posted, I decided to go in and open it up and see what I actually have in there. I looked at it when I bought it, but since it was a treadle, and missing the belt, I just never thought about it. SO . . . here's what I have had hidden all these years:)
    It is a 66-1 with lotus decals. I have one made in 1908 Prussia and I use it to piece my quilts. it is a wonderful machine and cabinet is in good shape. I would clean the machine and use it. Glenn
    Our local machine repairman will probably get a kick out of working on it! I looked it up, and it is from August 1907 (USA)
    It is a year older than mine
    Wow! Yours is in mint condition! Mine was obviously used a lot! The printing is worn off on the front, probably from taking it in and out of the cabinet so often.
    I could be where they had a padded fabric surrounding the machine there used as a pincushion. Many sewers back them but pinchusions on the machine. I have seen a lot of them. You will like the machine it sews a beautiful even straight seem. This model was one of the most popular of singers and was made until sometime in the 50's I think 1956(?) The only draw back is the back clamp feet attachments and if your lucky you will have some of these attachments. The attachments are very hard to find. Most of the piecing is done with the regular foot on the machilne. Glenn

    Well the machine is pretty, but that cabinet is so tiger-ed! I love it! There is nothing like a beautifully aged piece of wood furniture! Enjoy your vintage beauty!

    My 86 year old mother lives with us, and has been using this cabinet in her room as decoration, pictures on top, etc. She is excited about getting it up and running so she can use it for mending - I'll have to take a picture of her using it and post it later. Thanks for all of your information!

    Wow! I have seen this machine before and really like it!

    :thumbup: And a belt is not hard to find at all. And they come with instructions on how to make the fit right. I know cause I ordered one the other day for a machine I have.
    Seeeeee, you just never know...until you take a peek!
