Poor featherweight
I almost cried when I saw this, pretty grungy, rusty and I think a lot of smoke residue. This # says it was born in 1952, but it has centennial badge. No foot pedal.

Hmmm, doesn't look that bad to me. It would clean up nicely I do believe. Other than the stitch length lever it looks complete ( unless the bobbin case is missing ) so it shouldn't cost too much for parts.
I'd give it a shot.

That isn't dirt - that is dried up powdered shellac - be very careful to follow Glenn's instructions to fix the finish on that. I'm betting with some TLC it would work just fine and be ready for your next project.
