Last week I spent a few days in Philadelphia with my son, daughter-in-law and grandson. I went prepared for spring weather, but I wasn't at all prepared for temperatures in the upper 80's! The jeans and long sleeve t-shirts that I had packed weren't going to be comfortable, so I suggested we make a quick trip to the Goodwill store down the street to find some summer clothes that I could make do with until I returned home. While wandering through the store, I spotted a sewing machine case sitting on a shelf. Imagine my surprise when I opened the lid to find this absolutely beautiful Singer 301 with all the attachments and even the original owners manual! The price? $5.00! I went straight to the checkout and forgot all about looking for capris and t-shirts or how hot it was outside!

Wow! What a find! It looks to be in beautiful condition.
You found a deal. I love it when that happens. I have heard so many great things about how they sew.
Wow!! I've NEVER seen a sewing machine for $5. Does it work??
Wow....that is awesome. I am loving the 301 that my neighbor gave me about a month ago. You are going to have fun with it as it is an awesome machine.
$5? Heck yes, I'd be heading straight to checkout, not passing go. What a STEAL. Seriously, a STEAL!
What a wonderful buy! I'd have headed straight for the register too. Does the machine sew well?
I too would have been running for the register with hands jittery!! Does it work? It's sure pretty. I've been wanting one....need to get out more!
hey, now you can sew your own clothes. five bucks is a great price.
Oh, my! Congratulations on your wonderful new [old] sewing machine--and on getting it for such a wonderful price. Congratulations for and best wishes for years of sewing on this really wonderful machine! (I'd have forgotten the clothes too!)
What a GREAT DEAL you got!
I got a tan one at an auction 2 years ago for $2.00! It was in August and the A/C wasn't working in the auction house and not too many people stayed for the auction, so no one bid against me!
Congratulations!!!! What an amazing find!!!
Wow, that was lucky! I always hope to find one of these! Have you tried it out yet?
Awesome! I just found your blog through Happy Cottage Quilter. What a beauty she is!
Wow you are so lucky... I wish I could find an awsome deal like that at my good will. I would be singing from the rooftop.. I bought one from ebay a couple years back and love it! Happy sewing. I know you will love it they are great machines..
I have a 301 singer in a cabinet, did you get all the discs with it to do the decorative stitches?
