There are four Bentwood cases. Three contain Singer 128's and one had a 201. OF the four Bentwood cases three of them look like this!

It's exciting for me to page through and see the photos too. 
When I am out there with them it's still a lot to deal with. I haven't posted the really bad ones. In many cases even what appears to be bad might be a diamond in disguise. I have ones like this Singer 15, that is coated in grime--is that cigarette smoke? But I rubbed a bit with sewing machine oil and it started to come off. The decals look intact underneath as long as I can clean it without damaging them. The garage was not airtight, and critters certainly visited a few that were placed low to the ground too.

Price not mentioned, I'm betting the 301 and 201 have as much value as you paid. The rest is dream-land gravy. Wow, I'd be like you, not knowing to laugh or cry. You're work is cut out for you. Enjoy.
