serial is NA065xxx so Nope, not one of the earlies. Really uncertain as to when it was made. It's got bits of fuzz everywhere.
Haven't gone looking for TR3 yet. When I'm in the parts store I'm always after parts.
I think I can improve on this.
Very nice.
Quick summary of
http://singer301.com/dating/default.html
Only 1000 301s got the Centennial Badge with another 9000 serial numbers allocated in 1951.
301 (Grand Introduction Oct 1952) NA010001 to NA185750 1952 Anderson, SC (Start & End of 301)
In 1953 they started adding the "A"
So while you don't have the earliest 301, yours was allocated in year 2 of a 7 year run of 301s.
I think an improvement would be in order. I'm sure not only that you can that
you will.
