    He picked me up a belated birthday present a late 1950-s Singer 401 in cabinet with a stool. The drawers have lots of cams and some feet. The machine itself also has many built in stitches. He just brought it home and the machine looks like a mega workhorse. I can't wait to try this one out. I am so excited!

    DH just figured out that this baby girl is from Anderson, North Carolina 1951. They were only manufactured there for one year. It is so exciting to learn about her. I know her previous owner was an avid seamstres and quilter. Also the previous owner engraved her SS number in the foot pedal and the machine itself.She appears to be very well cared for but unfortunately the son and grandson damaged the cabinet and machine a bit when transporting and handling her (hinges and scratches). DH is Mr. Fixed so I am hopeful.

    I don't think the stool is original to this machine but it works.
