The treadle table (single drawer with leaf) for my first restoration 15k80 is almost ready for a rebuild. Cast iron parts were painted in an awful brown paint. I took the decision to strip to bare metal and hammerite spray to a black satin finish. You could say it's not authentic but i'm of the opinion that it looks better in black. All wooden parts have been stripped of 1930s varnish, gently sanded and then given a liberal rubbing down with wax furniture polish before a final buffing with a soft cloth. Here are some pictures. Please let me know what you think.
