26 minutes left and no bids?????? Where is everyone? I may pop back and make an offer. I know I would if it were black. Thank you for the heads up. If anyone else is interested, go for it.

I've noticed some really good prices on 301's this week, some going for around $100 including the case (which is what I would want). The beige ones aren't as desirable but they sew just as good!

Is the 301 considered a "Featherweight"?

The 301 is considered the big sister to the feather weight. The 301 has a marked throat plate and the feather weight does not. The 301 is a little bit heaver, is grear driven, no belt.

Some of the later Featherweights have a marked throat plate, the ones made after about 1953.

My 1952 has a marked face plate. The feeddogs drop on the 301 so you can do free motion.

I have noticed some great prices for 301's on ebay as well. It's strange how for a while everything is selling for 130 plus, then you see a bunch of machines for less than 100.
