New Featherweight
My DH is in Copenhagen on business -- went to a flea market this morning.
Bought a featherweight for the equivalent of $140 US, made in Scotland 1951-1953. I now have 7, I think; maybe 8. Elizabeth in Spring, Texas

No fair! vbg I haunted garage sales and auctions for years trying
to find one that was "under valued" at a tiny little price. I had no luck in even finding even an over-priced FW. You have a great hubby to be on the look-out for you like that.

Good thing, too, since I wouldn't have room to store them!
