The legs are original. I had a cabinet like this, but found it a bit short for me (long legs), so traded it out several years ago. It was Singer's last version of a treadle, very "stripped down" and plain. It's generally referred to as a "school desk" cabinet. The machine itself is a 15-88, another favorite of quilters. Great machines.

I have a similar cabinet, with wooden straight legs. It has a bigger wheel than most, and is my favorite cabinet to sew at. I drop different heads--201, 15-88, Necchi BU, Japanese Class 15--into the cabinet, depending on what I'm sewing and which machine likes me the best.
