My MIL also gave me her White in the early 1960's when she bought a new Singer with all the bells and whistles, she even bought the desk cabinet. It came in a small wood cabinet whose top opened to make a sewing surface. I used it for many years, don't know if it did anything more than straight stitch because that's all I knew how to use back then. Instead of a foot pedal it had a knee lever to start and stop the machine.
