What is the oldest 201 you've ever seen?
#11
According to Needlebar.org, they began making the 201 model in 1932. There is also an aluminum model 201 in black or tan, and one designated as a 1200 that is a 201 with a knee-lift for the presser foot.
Here is a 1948 201K4 handcrank that began life as a 201K3. I removed the motor, belt, light, and solid wheel. I added a 9-spoke wheel from a 1922 Singer 66-3, and a handcrank from a 1902 Singer 28K1, and put it into a 1950s portable case.

Excellent info here. There is one at thrift store here that is from the UK with the treadle hand wheel and no electrical or other parts. They want way to much for it though, I was just curious. My guess its an early model, its got the scroll faceplate.
