Pretty cabinet and machine! The decals on the machine is Tiffany or Gingerbread.
The machine is a Singer 15-30, beautiful machine & OMG the parlor cabinet is to die for!
I have that same cabinet but mine is really dark and I don't like it but I do like the one in the ad. I wonder if it's possible to lighten a darkened cabinet by removing the shellac/varnish.
Numerous cabinets seem to have the dark varnish/shellac on them. I too wonder if removing the shellac/varnish would make a big difference. I sanded one of my cabinets down and just used tung oil on it to finish it, but it is still dark looking.

This cabinet is gorgeous!
