If you contact me I know someone who can fix you up, bobbin case and all, and her prices are reasonable. She's helped me often with my collection of old machines.

Saw your post to the Vintage Singer / Featherweight mail list, had to check out the pics of your treasure. She's a beauty and what a deal!! Now you'll have to start hunting for accessories. (It's a slippery slope.) I'm the proud owner of a 'celery' FW, too. Her name is Tinkerbell and loves to travel. (Her favorite is to tease the TSA agents working the xray machines. *wink*) Congratulations!! Hi.

It sews like a dream and is great for putting on bindings, even on slippery fabrics like satin. Any Singer store should be able to get a bobbin case for you. Are all the feet and attachments in the case, too? Does it have the original manual? If so, that's fabulous, but for $3, who could complain if it doesn't? This white (which it was supposed to be and there are all kinds of folktales about why some are a very lightly tinted green) is less common than the black, not so rare as the tan. The extension, you will have noticed, is a little smaller than the black ones. I paid $300 for one just like it, and that was about 10 years ago.
