I think I am becoming a sewing machine collector
A couple of weeks ago we purchased an old White machine it was manufactured in the early 30's and the cabinet is sweet...needs some TLC.
Then last week I bought an old treadle that is in sad shape. I loved the cabinet but it is brittle and falling apart. Spoke so someone about them and they said to always remember to oil the cabinets good as they seem to dry out quickly and the veneer will peel back and this one is starting to do that. The machine is a 1929 and the previous owner taped the drawers shut with duct tape so there is a lot of sticky on the wood.
Here is hoping we can make them look pretty again. If not the treadle is going to be made into a table top.
Any suggestions or ideas?
No we won't mention the other 7 machines I own and the longarm....lol. It is a good thing my husband humors me!!!
