Congratulations on a super find and thank you for sharing the info about the Limited Edition. It was interesting to read about it. Now I need to go check the serial numbers on my 7 or 8 (?) 301's.

Singer started producing the 301 before they went to adding the Letter to the model number to designate the factory- so the early 301's made do not have "A" after the 301 on the little tag.
I have a black short bed 301, and two other 301A machines.
