We paid $150 for ours, and another $40 for the stool off ebay (because I had to have a matching stool, you know . . .).

It came with a beautiful 15-91 and attachments. The sellers had bought it around 15 years ago because they liked the desk - and never did a thing with the sewing machine inside.

We were willing to pay that much as it was only an hour away, and the truck is a hungry guy to feed if we have to drive 2-3 hours away to get one. It's different when we can fit something in the car.

I have paid all accross the board for cabinets and machines - I figure it evens out in the long run, so I don't mind if I have to pay through the nose once in a while, as I've been given a few and got some others dirt cheap.

what is funny - some of the machines that would sell for the most on Ebay are the ones I got free or near free.

I have the same stool - came with my # 42 cabinet that I love. I already had 2 of the 301's, but bought another because it was in the cabinet.

If your fingers are thin enough, you can use them, otherwise a screwdriver or something like that would work.

It's easier if you do with with the cabinet on it's back - or upside down, especially for the bottom drawer.

Thank you!

First time I have seen a non-treadle sewing machine described as a "peddle" sewing machine.

This is exactly the stool I'm looking for!

Singer also has another similar stool, but I want this one with the rounded corners. The machine that was in the matching cabinet is from 1946.

I don't remember. Is your cabinet the walnut or the blond version?

I have one like it that came with a #46 cabinet. It is the art noveau style with the inkwell. It has some water damage to the very bottom. I have it on my list of things to do. It is easily refinished. Mine had vintage 1940 fabric on the seat. Yours must be original. Very good.
