The head is basking in a sewing machine oil soak right now, and she’ll begin work on the treadle cabinet this August some time. Her cabinet is still in fair shape, and it must be a different cabinet than yours, as I see a bolt-on bed extension on yours, and hers doesn’t have that. I didn’t get any photos of her cabinet.

Your machine looks identical to mine even the emblem cover plate on the top of the pillar is the same. I will take a closeup of it and post later. The Brunswick was made by National. Does your machine have a serial number? It would sure be nice to see pics of the cabinet. As you can tell from my pictures Brunhilda's cabinet is toast but I may be able to salvage the pieces for patterns to rebuild a new cabinet. The irons are in great shape, I guess that is a plus.
