It's wonderful that you have started your collection off on such a great.

After work yesterday, I walked home. Along the way is the Singer store. I went in to ask how much it would cost to clean her up and it will only cost me $70. I will take her in for her spa treatment in the fall sometime. He told me he gets Featherweights in his store from time to time. He said quilters love to get their hands on them. He is expecting one in the next couple of weeks. I told him to get in touch with me when it arrives as I would like to see it and then talk price. Now I got the bug to collect antique machines!!!!

woooo hooooooooo!! I'll be sewing as in the olden days by candlelight!!! LOL.. I'll have to do that the next time we lose the lights LOL

Here is the link for did you name your machine-

I named my Featherweight after my grandmother (Margaret), because she was a great seamstress, but that name was too formal for my machine, so I call her Maggie. Some people name their machines for the family members they inherit them from.

You could try to find out girl's names that were popular in 1907-just an idea.
