Featherweight Score!

Behold my beautiful baby! I've been searching Craigslist for a long time now looking for a Singer Featherweight for a resonable amount of money, and this week I found one!

For $70 Cdn, this is is a Centennial model 221 in perfect working order. The serial dated puts it around 1949, and it has the "Egyptian Scrollwork" on the front. The only slight flaw is the electrical cord casing is cracked near where it plugs into the machine, but DH can easily fix that.

It is complete with case and all original attachments with the exception of the ruffler foot & manual (which can be downloaded free)

Similar models - but not Centennials - and not all in working condition go for between $250-$350 on Craigslist here, more on e-bay.

Not that I'm parting with this soon!
