These are the pics the people sent me, so I'll have to take a pic of the whole front, since there isn't one here. The cabinet is Honduran mahogany, and was top of the line when new. It cost $70 new, as the original receipt was still in it.
Here is my part of the 1891 Singer...The cabinet and irons are from the 1891 machine, but the head is 1909 66-1 Lotus decals. When I bought the 66-1 it came with a bunch of attachments, and I was so happy because it's a back clamp. So here she is in her new treadle....I think she looks good!! Still not sewing...everything is threaded properly and she picks up the bobbin thread OK, but won't make a stitch. I'm thinking the hook isn't moving.

Serial Number D1351513 - 1909 66-1
