I'm going to be away for a couple of days; going off to Ohio to play machines with like-minded folk!!

The bobbin shuttle is not for this machine....too long. It has tons of attachments probably not for this machine either. Patent dates on the plate say Dec 5 1882; Sept 22 1885; July 19 1887; Aug 21 1888; Jan 13, 1891.
Here are a couple pics:

Also, I looks to me that some of these attachments are bent. At least it looks that way to me! The puzzle box is quite a piece of workmanship! It has places to insert attachments so they stay in place. Just wish I knew what belonged to this machine and what doesn't. There are tons of machine needles...again, not sure if they fit this machine. Look pretty small in my opinion. Also there is a plate that is narrower than this machines plate. Looks like it could fit my Davis. No manual for this machine, so will be looking for one. And the tension looks incomplete also. Need pictures of this to determine for sure.I think I forgot to say earlier that my 27 dates 2-6-1905!
Hope to find time this weekend to take a look at the 66 I have ...a 1926 date.
Luckily I see that the main Post Office here scanned the package this a.m., so maybe I'll have it tomorrow, if not today. It has taken 2 weeks since I paid for it to get here. If you buy from one of the Goodwills, be sure you talk to them on the phone...I didn't, and I have been so worried about my machine!!

If you don't see it on the id plate top front right, then it most likely is underneath on the left-hand side under the bobbin area on the metal frame stamped into the metal. Look for number that starts with letters.

I bought my Admiral from Goodwill late Tuesday evening and it arrived by UPS late Thursday morning - about 36 hours. I thought the box was a little flimsy for a 30 pound machine, but it was padded well.

I'm just curious - WHY is this Featherweight going up so incredibly high on shopgoodwill - I assume because it's a convertible? Are they that rare?

Okay - that makes sense! I'm getting a real education about vintage machines, since I've been hanging around here (LOL).

I was 16 in 1965 and all the girls were in love with anyone with a British accent. How innocent and silly we were then---
