    Yes...pronounced Sheeeelya, maybe I just spelled it wrong...lol...cost a few pennies more than his one old ring, but was a great bargain...really clean, I oiled, lubed, etc. and it sews fine. Making a baby quilt right now for one of the intended grand daughters that will get it so I'll be sure to tell her that her machine was used to make it. Gotta love life's blessings, right??? I would have never thought to look for this in a place that buys jewelry, although it did say "estate" experts on some signage. Thanks for all the kind comments.

    Actually, this is my third BLACK featherweight, and also have a white one I got earlier this summer....that's how Hubby knew what he was looking at and that it was in great shape since my earlier ones had rather shabby cases, but this had bobbins, Singer oil and Singer lube and one of the original needles plus the little green book of instruction, all in great shape. Sewed more blocks on her this afternoon, and really am happy with it...Four grand daughters, 4 Featherweights, will probably quit on the featherweights, unless of course, more fall across my path.
