I've long thought maybe one day I'd look into gettng a Featherweight but really never have looked at them. Curiosity, touching history, loving vintage mechanical ...lots of reasons have kept it in the back of my mind for "someday".
Can anyone point me to a good blog or somewhere with good info about them?
I just saw a neighborhood ad for a 1922 model. What model would that actually be? Used by three generations; I love that history! She says its in good condition and has all the pieces. No price, so I'm guessing she hopes to hit the jackpot based on her ad description. I love that it's not restored and in a shop. Maybe I can't afford it, or maybe she'd love that it would continue to be valued and loved.
The ad is legitimate, I've been buying things from neighbors through this site and it's always been wonderful. But I really don't even know what to ask her without a smidge of knowledge under my belt. I'm knowledgeable enough to check it out mechanically, but clueless about models and what one would want in a Featherweight.
Edit: wait, they didn't make them until the 30s, right? I guess I'll have to ask her what it actually is or if she's just got the date wrong.
