Singer 301's how many different colors?
I have a 301A that is black and tan. I have been looking at pictures on the quilting board, also on the web and haven't seen any that look like mine. I have the original bill of sale with the machine. Does anyone else have one or seen one this color?

Yours is likely a machine cobbled together from parts of other machines or repainted. They only came in mocha, mocha and oyster(two tone) and black. They never came in black and mocha:<

I saw a Holstein-colored one some place (I’m in dairy country, but I think the owner called it “Tuxedo-colored”). I guess it could be called “Polecat-colored” too, if you’re not into tuxedos or Holstein cows....
They used the off-white parts from an LBOW model on a black machine. I kind of liked it!

There are three basic colors, all beige (or mocha if you prefer) Beige/cream like the 401 series, and black.
Anything else is from someone putting parts from different machines together. I drove a blue care with a red hood and a brown fender for a while - but I never thought it came that way from the factory LOL!!
And yes, I also had the title to the car, so having an orginal Bill does not mean it parts weren't swapped out because something got bent/broken or someone just felt like doing it.
