Not with the drawers the swing out like that, but yes to the chain used to bring the machine up. Many old treadles had cabinets with that type of setup to help lift the machine up.
Just to name a few would be the National Co and Davis Co.
Is that a Minnesota A? Will you please post pictures of just the machine and of the area for the chain lift.
Very nice looking machine! Congrats, and enjoy that beauty!
