VINTAGE SINGER 201 SEWING MACHINE 1950's GREAT SHAPE

This auction is for a Singer Model 201

MANY BELIEVE THE 201 WAS THE FINEST MACHINE EVER MADE BY SINGER.  TECHNOLOGY HAS PROGRESSES, BUT ACCORDING TO SOME, THE QUALITY HAS NEVER BEEN EQUALED.

THIS IS A TRUE ACTION STARTING AT 1.00 WITH NO RESERVE YOU GUYS DECIDE WHAT ITS WORTH

This is a direct drive gear driven machine and runs smooth and quiet and without error. Theres not 1 but 2 foot switches included and both work flawlessly,
im no sewing machine expert but i can tell you what i know from general knowledge, the machines motor runs strong and quiet, all the gears function and
turn without errors, i dont know how to thread it so i cannot garuntee if theres any small pieces needed or missing but nothing appears to be missing or broken
all buttons turn and push and switches all work that are present, the light even comes on still !!! this is a heavy duty durable sewing machine i dont know the
exact weight but its well over 25 lbs i believe, theres a serial # AM562571 on a plate in the front of the machine and on the bottom its stamped SIMANCO USA 45223
any further questions please email me ill answer them the best i can, shipping is by zone through UPS of corse due to the weight UPS is the best option it will be shipped
fully insured also and well packed for a safe arrival to your door

The finish is in great condition for its age.

I cannot locate a date on this machine but ive done some research and i believe it is from the early 1950's

There is no owners manual or accessories.  All are available on ebay.

A knowledgable fellow ebay member was nice enough to shed a little information on this machine so im updating the auction . This machine was manufactured Nov. 21, 1956 (only 15,000 made) in Elizabeth, New Jersey.
