I went to an estate sale today and took home this vintage
singer Slant-o-matic 403-A.
She came in the original cabinet with stool. Book and parts are all inside the stool. Everything is in very good condition.
She runs like a dream too.
I have named her Betsy.

She's beautiful & the twin to mine, which originally was my Mom's. I'm sure you are going to enjoy yours. The 403's are great machines!

She has had excellent care. It doesn't look like she has been used at all. Great find!

Oh! This is the very machine I made my first garment on....a quilted bathrobe for my home ec. class probably in '62 or 3!
Brings back great memories. Thanks for posting. I remember this as a great machine!
