Oh how great! What a treasure.
I remember my grandmothers treadle sewing cabinet having three drawers an each side.
Give her an extra hug.

you are so lucky, does it have the shuttle bobbin or round? I have absolutely no room but would love to squeeze one in, they are hard to find especially in that condition.....

It has the shuttle bobbin. There were 4 bobbins in one of the drawers. There is no instruction manual but I went online to the Simithsonian and found a teaching manual for the machine that shows how to wind the bobbin.
