As i got closer to it i knew it was a rather old sewing machine cabinet, then i opened it and to my wide open eyes it turned out to be a National Two Spool.... Complete..... With the "can", thread still inside.

I wish this sewing machine could talk to tell me how in the world it made it to a dark, dirty thrift shop in Bozeman MT.
Reminds me of an old "House on the Prairie" episode where a modern day couple bought Charles' old handmade table, and wondered about the origin, and that was what the story was about - how it got to that auction. Looks like your machine had an interesting life!
