I have that same table.A friend who does flea marketing was using it to hold his merchandise. I asked him about the table .At the end of the season I bought it from him. I think I paid a whole $6.00 for it.It's in pretty nice shape.

I really like these tables and never saw them until 1999 then got the top of one for my FW. Never have seen one for the 301 . Lucky you as it looks good. My 301 in in cabinet with bench so won't complain. Haven't even used the machine yet.

301 Table

DD then called me to say that it was not a Featherweight table as her Featherweight did not fit in the table and she could not find any markings on the table that denoted Singer. I picked up the table yesterday and it was painted the same Mocha color as my 301. Hmmmm, it HAS to be some kind of Singer card table. Once I hauled it past DH, who rolled his eyes and said "what do you have now?" and got it upstairs and started cleaning it. I finally found the Simanco name and model number stamped on the back metal support bar. Whooo Hoooo! The table model is 148121 and Millie, my 301 now has a table to sit in. There are a few small veneer issues on the corners and sometime in the past someone had attached a piece of molding to one top edge with a ruler applied to it. Or did they come that way?

This past weekend, I bought a FW table from a dealer for $40. I am not sure it is a FW table. Since I have both 301s and FWs, I don't care if it 301 table and actually hope the dealer was wrong about it being for a FW. DH is unimpressed with the table but again I don't care. I have to get it out of the trunk of the car and bring it inside and then look at it. It's not beautiful (it was used and there are spots of bare wood) but the cut-away piece is still there with the table.
