After talking about trying to find one, my husband surprised me with one he won on e-bay. Needed a tune up but now it runs like a top. What I like about it is, I can sew with it on the dining room table and it is quiet enough that my husband does not find it distracting while watching tv.

I just received my featherweight and posted yesterday her picture, carring case and accessories. April was born 10/14/53. I sent her out to be repaired and cleaned, oil etc. I hope to test drive her today.

Those are awesome sewing machines. Maybe start a new thread to see who all have slant shank Singer 301s. They are the big sister to the Feather Weights. Many people are now starting to look for them.

I have a 1950 featherweight with a case,original book and a box of 8 attachments. I traded with an antique dealer for a wicker doll carriage and a composition doll that came with it. The carriage had a hole in the hood and the doll was not in good condition. I paid $45.00 for them over 20 yrs. ago.
