My sister found this machine in her garage and sent me this picture. Does anyone know what model it is? She's at work so can't give me any info from it. Thanks for your help.

Looks kind of like the Singer 401 I learned to sew on (my mom's machine) but it's a little hard to tell from that angle.

I too think it looks like a 401. It sure is in nice shape.

I think it's a 403 because I have a 401A and this one has a few more gadgets on it different from the 401A. Just my opinion though...

I am not an expert, but I have 2 Singer 401A's, and they don't have the little deck extension that folds up like this one.
