Wheeler and Wilson: fabulous Victorian treadle base!
#14
WW seems to have some very unique cabinets. I'm looking for the one that looks like a small bookcase when closed. It's got a glass front with fake books even. If you didn't know what to look for, you'd never guess it was a sewing machine cabinet when all closed up.

so - did you get it? I can't find the add for it anymore - and the one for the Gold machine is gone too. Nice stuff like that rarely shows up locally for me (which I consider less than 2 hour one way drive). Which may be good - as when they do they seem to end up at my house more often than not.

That is a pretty one. I love the spindle work! It would be a perfect addition in a Victorian parlor.
Spindles like that were popular in Victorian architecture. There's a house in Astoria, OR that has a porch whose entry is framed with interlocking balls and spindles similar to that. I've also seen that type of spindle work inside houses in passages between rooms.
I hope you got it.

Cogito, this is so similar to mine. It was my Grandma's but it's mine now. It's in better shape now than the picture. Been through a lot of cousins before I got it.
