A Sweet New 301 Baby

Mister was perusing Craigslist yesterday and spotted this sweet 301A.  After sending the listing out to a friend who wants one, we contacted the owner for more information.  When said friend opted out, Mister couldn't stand to let this one pass.  We set up an appointment to go have a looky, looky and knew at once that we wanted her.  Just take a peek.  She came with the cabinet and lots of extras for $75.00.


I LOVE the side storage area.  I don't think the lady who owned this (inherited from her grandmother) knew the bottom drawer was even there.  The dust layer inside is THICK.  For some reason there is a hole in it, but Mister can work his magic and repair it.  She had been using this 'door' as the brace for the table.  When Mister released the actual brace, it too had a ton of dust on it.  Never used.




Tree branch shadows on the drawers.  The small hole is in the lower drawer - upper left corner.  Everything else is shadow.


I am thrilled with this cabinet and it will replace the one I am currently using in the office studio.  See how the sides curve up to let the legs sit comfortable.  The one I have now curves down --- ouch.


Ah -- and the shining star.  She runs so nice and has a sweet little purr.




Good stuff and a fun find.   Yay to number number 12 in my herd.  Welcome home sweetie.

    1. Thank you Sandy. They are indeed and I am thrilled. The one I currently have is just so uncomfortable to sit at.

    1. I love them as well Melissa. I don't have a black one yet, but am working on it. My mocha longbed loves her new table that my sweetie refinished in April. Thanks for reading.
