Welcome to the forum, cedarvalleyquilts!!:-D
I love your machines. I have a parlor cabinet just like the one in your picture. Did you refinish it or polish it with something? It looks so nice. Mine looks old and dry but I would love to make it as pretty as yours. I also like the way yours are displayed. Do you have more pictures of your other machines and how they are displayed?

Today I bought a Red Eye, from Craigslist, that had been converted to a hand crank. My other 2 red eyes are treadles. The one I bought today has it's decals in almost perfect shape. Can't wait to clean her up and get her sewing.
