Default Singer 301 collecting

I now have 11 of the 301 singer sewing machines and love them. Lately I have had great success in finding the trapazoid cabinets too. Love them was excited to get the tri-fecta of cabinets. Walnut, cherry and blonde.

My mother had a 301 ( to the best of my recollection) and I have looked for years to find one locally but no such luck, The trapezoid cabinet is interesting but hers was similar to the first one pictured.

I have my mom's 301 which is also the machine I learned to quilt on. It's one of my favorite machines to piece on. I do have a trapezoid table that I have my 503 sitting in currently. I love that table.

BEAUTIFUL machines! I have never heard of the trapezoid table. Time to start looking for Singer 301 in a trapezoid table :-) Thanks for sharing!

Wow, I can't imagine having 11 of the same model. I passed on a 301 at an estate sale one time because I thought I had enough vintage machines and really no where to put it.

I have a 201, 301 and 401 from my collecting and rehabbing days. Now I want to rehome them but not ambitious enough to do it. Waiting for new owner to find me.
