Default Beauty and the "B"east

Beautiful Minnesota Treadle Cabinet housing a cosmetically challenged "B" head:

Well worth the $40.

THAT cabinet is what I need for Minerva, my old Minnesota B. Both the cabinet and machine needs work, but I could fix that. Wish I was closer.

I wonder what they used on that poor machine to cause the paint to peal off like that? That one would need a paint job for sure.

Primer failure and / or excessive heat (?) I'd enter it in the ugliest sewing machine contest.

I'd probably refurb and repaint that Minnesota B, but my Minerva would look right at home in that treadle cabinet.
