I will probably sell the first one and keep this one.

I got my Featherweight for my birthday. She's a 1956 and works like a charm

I keep looking but I haven't found a FW yet. Lucky I like a lot of other things, too, so those garage sale and thrift store trips aren't totally wasted! LOL

Wow! Looks just like the one I grew up sewing on. It went many, many miles for me. You are so lucky. What a great find.
