What year was the model 201-2 Singer electric sewing machine made?

Answer 1

I have the 201 manufactured in 1953. I have been doing much research on the 201 and 201-2 for the last couple years. In good working condition with cabinet you are worth to a collector about $150.00. Collectors love the 201 class because it will sew through demin leather and heavy fabics with ease. It is also a very quiet machine. Good luck and happy sewing.

Answer 2

The Singer # 401 was first manufactured in 1957, it debuted for Christmas 1957. The legal drama Singer underwent was remarkable. Singer needed a new machine to compete with the post WW2 imports of Japanese and European machines. 1957 was an expensive year for the company. A portion of the #401 was a Bernina design which Singer purchased, as well as a design from the Italian firm of Vigorelli. Singer spared no expense in creating the "Slant-O-Matic" #401. The first models had a #301 tension assembly, #301 motor, bronze oil impregnated bearings and heavily chromed screws on the exterior. In addition, it had nicer decals and a superior needle-bar thread guide plus "bakelite" plugs which could be re-wired. The #401 was feat of engineering genius.... In 1958, the "Sisters" of the #401 were introduced, the #403 "Special" and the straight stitch #404. The famous #301 was now discontinued..

In 1880, Singer released a sewing machine attached to a Edison motor. It sold 500 000 units worldwide.
