I would:
1) Give it to me because my SIL has me hunting for 7 old black sewing machines as props for her production of "Gaslight Girls." (Award winning high school theater! Wants to keep things close to real.)
2) Strip off all the attachments and paint it a charming lilac.
3) make a lamp out of it....no, no, just kidding, really!
4) Use it as an instructional model when you take your nice machines on the road - just to show the kids how the different parts go together.
Good luck with it, Miriam!
