Yep, I know about the Davis cabinets. To me the Two Spools is the same way. Yes the cabinet for the Hales Crescent has the Davis look and feel. I will check it out tomorrow, it is in the storage unit, but the cabinets that were made by Johnson, Flanders, and Company had a logo on every treadle. If there is no logo on the treadle, my Hales Crescent is not a Johnson, Flanders and Co. Crescent! From my research all their machines had the logo on the treadle irons so they could stand out!
