Many people don't realize that they are pretty much the only antique/vintage Singer machine worth $$$ and try to list their other old Singers for the same type of price. In my area, one would be lucky to get $25 for most other old black Singers... though sometimes the wood/wrought iron table can help a non-featherweight achieve a little more since they make nice entry tables.</p><p>I seriously considered buying a featherweight around 10 years ago, pricing was $250-$350 US at the time and I decided that I didn't <i>need </i>one. It seems that now, one can still occasionally find good examples in the $400-$600 range but, if all the bells and whistles are present and correct, they can go for more.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
