You have a winner! It is a Singer 404 - those were used in Home Ec classes. They are a wonderful machine. My GDs and Niece all have them. They are about the same weight and size as a 301. They take any of the slant feet that straight stitch. They are straight stitch only. They have a front loading drop in bobbin.
www.sewclassic.blog has info and she has bobbins and accessories. Nice cabinet! She also has a link to a free manual. serial number might be under the lip by the bobbin on the very end
I do not understand why they aren't right up there in value with the 301.[/quote]
I found this one for $25.00. I found all the info on sew classic. Thanks to everyone but I do need to relocate some of my finds.
