so close and yet so far FW
There was an estate sale close to my house. So close that I could have carried the featherweight home or maybe a 99 if they had had one. . When I saw the $500 price tag on it I didn't even open up the box to see what came with it. Perhaps another day.

I saw a beat up FW at a flea market for $450 a few years ago and asked the vendor why it was so expensive. He gave me this story about how old it was and it couldn’t be replaced, etc. I still passed it up. Bought another one for $250 a few years later at same flea market. Needed some work, but hey...

Well, I'm going to say this -- I love my FW for piecing, but I don't love it that much! That price is way way too much. My son found mine at the local Good Will store for $50. No case and no attachments, but the price was sure right!
