Are either of them the one you like? Thank you.

Pollyparrot hasn't been on QB for a couple of years. Based on the link that she posted it appears it is the clear foot, now the part number does not have letters https://shop.sew-classic.com/Singer-...oot-384037.htm

I bought a Singer 401 - maybe the one I got was a dud - but I sure do not "get" all the excitement about that machine.

I do have a 301 - was able to get one for my birth year (1956). They are workhorses - and i am thinking they are known as the “sister” to the 221 (Featherweight). I should look that info up.
