1950 Singer 401A sewing machine

With original case! The 401A is distinguished by 18 built in stitch choices, a solid cast aluminum body, it’s 2-tone tan and beige color, slant needle, three needle positions, adjustable foot pressure, Twin needle capability with twin tension discs, the same horizontal full rotating hook assembly used in the model 201, a powerful internal gear drive motor, concealed lamp, and top hinged cover for different pattern disks. The feed dogs do not drop, but Singer designed a three position lever on the machine bed adjacent to the pillar that allowed the plate to lay flat for general sewing, lift slightly to clear the feed dogs, or raise the needle plate for removal and replacement of the needle plate. The 401A uses a type 66 bobbin and standard 15×1 sewing needle.
