Hummmm...now that you mention it, I haven't opened that panel, so I really can't be sure it's a drawer either!! LOL

Ah, Jon!! Never would I do that!! LOL I just ASSUMED it was a drawer since most of the treadle cabinets did have a center drawer. Anyway....the cabinet in the CL post looks like my Davis NVF cabinet, including those little curlicues on that front panel. :-)

Charlee! Love your machine!! The flowers are very nice, and very German!!

So, I posted pictures on my A G Mason New Glenwood on the Pictures thread. It came with lots of great attachments, plus 2 pieces (pictured) that I suspect do not belong with this machine. Looking for guesses on what they are. I think she's a 3/4 machine...can someone give me a good measurement for that size of a machine? Thanks.

The clamp looks like a table clamp for a toy machine. The other looks like a tension disk of some kind...

Pretty machine!

Oh, yes, I think you're right, Charlee, about that clamp. If I can't figure out a use for it soon I'll probably give it away if someone on here needs it.

Whew!

I can tell you one thing, even though I am not a regular contributor to this thread... I mostly try to keep up with reading it... sorta regularly... And I pop in with questions 'cuz you guys (girls) are the experts... but, my home is filled with vintage machines and I can directly point my finger at y'all as to the reason 'why' it is filled with vintage machines. You have taught me so much and I love all of my machines. Often you learn a lot by just listening to everyone else! So, THANKS!
