25.00 at a yard sale
Now how do i go about cleaning her up? I read in my hours of researching, a car wax,..... nothing abusive or with alcohol .
I have a man that does wood working, going to see what he would charge me to help fix the front panel.
The cabinet you want to have fixed is called the "Art Deco" cabinet, made just for Singer. Many had an ink well and place for a pen in left top drawer & some even had a narrow drawer top right just for stationery - the idea was to use it not only for sewing, but also as a lady's writing desk. This is the cabinet Mom had that I now have - also in need of refinishing - going to tackle it myself someday.
