Highlights

• A compact sewing workspace with concealed machine storage and four supply drawers.
• The German-made Singer 401G is part of the Slant-O-Matic family, distinguished by its angled needle arrangement and decorative stitch capabilities. Model references place production in the early 1960s.

Condition

Used condition with substantial scratches, scuffs, finish loss and discoloration to the cabinet, including worn areas on the top, drawer fronts and edges. The machine shows surface wear, marks and discoloration. Sewing supplies show age and use.

Power, motor operation, stitch quality, foot controller, wiring, locks and the cabinet’s folding mechanism have not been verified. Stitching visible on the fabric does not establish current working condition. Given the age of the machine and electrical components, professional inspection and servicing are recommended before use.
