Tracking down the history of the Good Housekeeper sewing machine is hard because it is a generic badge sewing machine whose history is lost to time.

"Some people think brother made it back in the 60s while others state that White was responsible when the company was still known as White Sewing machines" (before it was bought out by Husqvarna) "A third party has stated that the Model 73 was made in Japan but there is no real company name attached to its manufacturing or history." sewingiscool.com/.../#tab-con-1
"Good Housekeeper has nothing to do with Good Housekeeping magazine." sewingiscool.com/.../#tab-con-6

There were about 15 Japanese companies that were cloning the Singer models giving them American sounding names to make them sell better, over 5,000 different models were produced in Japan and there are no records. American department stores purchased large quantities of these machines and put their own name.

Your sewing machine serial number has 401 at the beginning, your sewing machine really looks like a Singer Sewing Machine Model 401 or 401A with table:

I think you have a clone of the Singer sewing machine and it's made in Japan.

You did not write what condition the sewing machine is in, whether it works, and the table is also poorly visible in the photo. The price also depends on the demand in your area.
