looking at it I can see only a dark old sewing machine (some rust for sure).Which would need to be reworked totally, painted, no belt etc. Cabinet can be sanded and redone, I do enjoy working with wood.
I have seen some worse but they were missing parts. I see how well people on this site can remake them so
wonderful. I do not know how. But you can do wonders with them, Love them. I am thinking maybe find a nice looking red eye singer or something in that line.
Would love for it to work, but if only for looks would like to have one for her cabinet for me to look at. Around 50.-100. Is this a fair price or is it a dreaming. Also will any treadle machine fit into any cabinet the older ones with the treadle. Loved granny and what the memories of her (she and I are the only sewing people in our family)
