I don't have the original machine that came with the cabinet. I have an older Singer machine that my mother gave me back in the 70's when whe got a new machine. I will have to do a little research & find out how old my Singer machine - that still works fine - is. My sister originally confiscated the cabinet, but relenquished it to me when my mother died in 1984.
This machine is from 1914. That is wonderful you have your mother's sewing cabinet. That means much more then just finding a good deal. Did your mother also quilt? You said cabinet, was there a machine in it also? Enjoy!

I am jealous of your 66! Mine was really worse for the wear. The "before" pics of mine are on the vintage machine shop thread. I am waiting for my new camera to do the "after" pics. I finally got the bobbin slide-plate put on last night and sewed with her! Poor baby. Her cabinet had been left in the rain or something after being spraypainted yellow. And mice had made their nests in her drawers! Cabinet drawers, that is! My decals on the base are worn and the jappaning is chipped along the edges and cracked in others. Like I said. I am JEALOUS! Beautiful machine!

But it's probably a good thing I haven't cause I'd have no place to put them all. :) There's just one that I'm really hoping to have one day - my mother's 301 which is the one I learned to sew on. It may be a while before it's available and I many not even be the one who's chosen. But I'm hoping.
