Pictured are our Limited Edition Singer 301 Centennial (2) and Anniversary (2) machines. Only 45 of the Centennial and less than 180 of the Anniversary have been reported to exist. Singer made 1,000 of the Centennial machines - 500 in Soft Beige and 500 in traditional Black July 25, 1951. There were 9,000 Anniversary machines made. The 301 was introduced to the public the following year. The picture on the Introductory pamphlet shows the “Centennial” badge.
Pam-and-J.C.Elliott, Beautiful. <3
So, do you have one, four, or six of these beauties?
FYI, we have at least one other Limited Edition Singer 301 Centennial machine posted here at CW S&T:

Sorry for the confusion but to clarify.
In addition to our Featherweights we have six 301s.
* two Centennials, one in each color (45 total reported)
* three Anniversary 301s, two in soft beige and a black with the Celtic knot on the rear pillar. (Less than 180 reported only 32 reported with the Celtic knot)
Pam-and-J.C.Elliott, Thanks for the clarification. :-)
I only became truly interested in the Singer model 301 after becoming acquainted with this very detailed website all about the 301 (and its siblings, the 400 and 500 series):
