Unhappy My Mother's Treadle needs someone to love it

it was rescued from a basement and came to my house with the intent that I would restore it. That is not going to happen as we have both finally retired, getting ready to travel and downsizing. I would like it to go to someone who will love it. Furbaby does not come with machine. This machine is free but you will have to come pick it up. PM me if you are interested.

Darn.... I am in SF. Wound love to get it, save it, take care of it, keep it. Why is it so far. Ship it to me, ship it to me. Even just the head. Ha ha ha.

I'm sorry you have to let it go but the traveling does sound like fun. I'm very tempted. I'll ask my wife after she has some coffee.

Possibly. I'd have to bring it up gently around hubby.

I know it's that puzzlebox for a shuttle machine that I bought at a yard sale. It must be bait.

It's very nice for you to offer it to someone here. I'm sure it'll find a good home.

I will not separate the machine. It MUST be taken with the understanding that it will be kept intact and restored.

I asked my wife. If no one else has claimed it I'll take it. I'm sending you a PM.
Thank you,
Rodney

I forgot to add: If I get it, yes, it will be kept intact and restored. The back isn't a big deal to repair and a drawer front can be found. I can make a plain one that will work but I'm certain the original had carvings like the side drawers. It's a beautiful machine and we don't have a treadle yet.
Thank you very much for the generous offer no matter who gets it.

It's a lovely pheasant decal machine. But- too far from NY.
