Thanks so much!
Well, they are both 1951 machines, that is all the Singer site has on the Serial Numbers starting with NA.
There was quite a conversation a while back on the 301's and how much everyone likes that machine. I guess it is a big sister to the Featherweights. Those machines are aluminum so lighter, have the lift up bed like a FW, but are a full sized machine so great for taking to classes. I have only seen the pinkish ones, never a black one. If I ever got one, I'd want the black one -- you are lucky to have two of them -- and you even have the long beds, which makes you even luckier!

The date was all I could find at the site too. I am hoping that someone with more knowledge will jump in here and possibly point me in another direction. I would like to learn as much as I can about these two machines.

Do you need a manual for the 301 because you can get one on the Ismacs web site. I have a 301 and use it most of the time. I have several others but keep going back to the 301. Hubby said he thinks I like that machine better than the FW and sometimes I do depends on what I am working on at the time. I have a pair of leather work gloves and the seam came apart and I used the 301 to sew it back together with no problem. I think you will enjoy using yours but I wouldn't do FMQ on a large quilt with it.
