The oldest, from 1894, is missing one drawer and the drawer pulls from two of the other drawers. They're the same style drawers as shown in your picture. I hope to find a replacement drawer someday at a decent price.
M DH gifted me with this same machine (well the cabinet is the same, can't see the machine). I've got all of the drawers but the middle drawer in the front needs bracing. The veneer is in bad shape. If I could get the machine running, I think I'd just clean up the cabinet and try my hand (or feet) at working it. I used a treadle in home ec many moons ago.
