That's a Singer 301. They were made around 1953. That one looks like its had a hard life. They are a great machine when they are cleaned up. Not only is it a great machine in a cabinet, there is a lever that you push and the machine lifts right out so that you can take it to a class or whatever. Singer 301's are considered the big sister to the Featherweight. They are a lightweight full sized machine with a handle on top for carrying. They take slant shank attachements.
If it were me I would offer them less for the machine.
Good Luck!

I have 5 of these. Love them. But agree the machine needs a lot of love. I see quite a bit of rust and I would imagine there's rust on the inside as well. I would also offer much less based on the condition of the machine.

I agree 301's are wonderful machines but that machine may need a lot of work plug it in and see how she runs first, if she dosen't you may need to take a pass but keep watching I use mine all the time and love her even more than my featherweight.

Nicer looking one in the DFW area, much less. If you want a project, and the black one is grimy and not rusty, you could use it for bargaining.
