Very cool machine Steve! That thing is beautiful! Yes, I think it outdoes the Singer though that Singer is a hard one to beat. Your honesty will be repaid. That sort of thing has a habit of coming back to you. Any leads on a treadle mechanism to fit it yet?
Sorry about your dog and I'm happy to see she's doing better. It's scary when something like that happens to a member of the family. It doesn't matter if they're furry and 4 legged or not.

Wow. That is a wonderful story and the machine is truly lovely! I love the part about mom's face appearing since that has happened to me before too lol! It's so hard when someone asks you what it's worth? I am glad to hear you were honest and the seller wasn't all about getting rich quick. You got a great deal!

Steve - Good to hear that Gwen survived the seizure and is doing better - very scary to experience - hopefully the blood work will give you some answers and will help for the future.
Loved your story about finding this beautiful gem and cabinet!! I have never seen a true silver lady before - looking forward to seeing more pics - thanks so much for sharing your finds and knowledge with us!

Thanks everyone. Gwen does not have epilepsy to our knowledge, but we will see. She is old, yet Feisty still.
ok, on the the other end of the yo-yo. She is cleaned up now.
here she is.. Yeah, as hard as it is to say, I think it out does the 12 Mop I have. Maybe not Mikes....
