What year this model (401A) Singer was made??
Got it at a neighbor's yard sale for $10...thought it was really cute, and it probably has more functions than the new machine I have now, lol.
Anywho...thanks!

Thanks for the info...yeah, it seems to be from the late '50s through perhaps even the '70s...I would guess on the early end of that, too, though. :)
I cannot believe that eBay listing!!! If the person selling it knows what they're talking about, then boy howdy did I get a good deal! I almost feel guilty now...a steal!
It's awesome to find out it's so industrial! I just bought a cheap Brother machine for the odds and ends of crafts I do, but it would probably die just looking at some of the fabrics and such this Singer can whiz through.

It's very cool. The old ones do have a certain charm, don't they?
