There is usually a want list that goes along with any collection. For the past 6mths+ there have been only 2 specific sewing machines on my want list a Singer 500A which I got and featured on last weeks Thrifty Thursday post and the Singer 301 generally referred to as the big brother/sister of the featherweight.
Well my collection is complete (as complete as any collection can get LOL)!
This is the 301 I bought off Craigslist recently, I had been keeping an eye out for a while but Ebay's prices are too expensive and last time I bought a sewing machine on Ebay, Fedex lost it! And I have never seen one of these in the wild locally at thrift or antique stores. I paid $90 which is waaaay cheaper than most 301s are advertised for.
