Well this was my wife's last hobby purchase. When we picked it up it was in boxes, it had been disassembled in the hopes of putting a modern machine in the cabinet. Fortunately The guy that took it apart decided the task was beyond his capability.
These were all of the attachments that came with this Singer model 301 from 1953. Amazingly all of the users manuals are in excellent condition, there is oil in the can and Motor lubricant in the tube. I love the way this accessory box folds up I just wish it was old as the patent date. When you lift the cover this arm is released to support the work area. Nice way to hide the sewing machine when not in use. Ready for use, the foot pedal has been moved into the cabinet and now has a knee switch added.
I adjusted the machine and "tuned it up" it now works fine. I decided not to fix the veneer on the cabinet because as is said more often around here is you can only be original once. It just breaks my heart that Peggy never got to use it.

Oh, what fun? And all those attachments.
Have fun.

My mother had a Singer with a very similar cabinet. The machine was a dark green color , and an older model than yours, I'd guess. It had a knee operated variable speed lever and an exposed belt drive with an exposed flywheel with a chrome rim. Stores had books of patterns which were pinned to material.
The machine made pleasant sounds when in use.

Those old machines are of much higher quality than what is available today... If maintained they'll outlast us all.
