Now you just need to find a treadle cabinet to go with it!

I hauled home an 1889 Singer New Family Model 12 Hand Crank machine this week. I haven’t done anything with it except take photos of it. It’ll replace the 1889 Singer 27-1 treadle that I had but passed on to another collector last year.

I’m a sucker for hand cranks anyway.
