Featherweight

After all that talk about featherweights on Quiltchat I decided I needed to start looking for one. One of my patients said she had a little cute singer did I want to look at it? She didnt know anything about it so I told her I would check it out for her. Well, here It is. I looked it up. It was manufactured in 1957 and is in very good shape. The belt occasionally slips while sewing but sews nicely. It has a carrying case and the attachments.

Does anyone have any idea about what it may be worth?
Then I uncovered an old singer 301 1951' I bought at a yard sale for $25 when I first started to quilt. I used it then retired her for a new Viking. I pulled her out and sewed 2 in. strips for those 4 patches for Bonnie's New Mystery, Old Tobacco Road. Boy, she goes like the wind, I'll call her Wendy.
