I reused the tray from the original case, it hold bobbins, feet, thread, etc.   The corner blocks hold it up off the machine and it's made to fit around/above the highest parts of the machine.

Thanks again for those pics Keith.  The machine the wife picked up is, in fact, a featherweight.  A 1955 model according to the website you provided the link for (and thanks for that also).   The wife paid $20 for it at a thrift shop, which I thought was $20 too much when she showed it to me.  I had to apologize to her after I looked around that site last night!

Everything looks to be in nice shape and good condition.  I did replace the power cord - with a green one.  I guess I will have to replace that again...  The box is a tin box in good condition.

PICTURES! GOOD! My wife has 4-5 of them, I don’t believe any of them are very old.
