Your cabinet is what Singer called the Model #430 "Profile" Three Way Sewing Desk. It also came in a blonde finish. It was a classroom item used for sewing, cutting, and a study desk. Typically, there would be only one of these cabinets in the class room for the teacher, while the students had smaller cabinets. There was a tote tray (available separately at an additional cost) that slid in on the brackets on the left side, but, if so equipped, they must have been very useful for other things too, as they’re usually missing from these cabinets found today.
My wife had her Singer 401A in hers, and then had me mount a 301A cradle in it, and she has her Singer 301A in it now. She uses the combination to FMQ.
