Thought I would share this. As far as we can figure it and the information we got when we purchased this little baby, this is a 1891 VS2 Singer with Victorian Decals. The cabinet veneer is lifting and splitting on the right side some and the bottom of the right drawer front piece is missing and so are the drawer pulls.

This has the cutest little bobbins, I have never seen them before until yesterday when I bought this at an auction. The price was right so I couldn't pass it up.

Question.......

Do I want to repair the cabinet or just keep it oiled so it doesn't get worse? Any suggestions or ideas? I plan to have the machine cleaned and gone over really good. It works but the belt broke and will have it replaced. I don't plan on sewing with it. It will be a show item if we can get it to look as good as I think they can.

My husband about "killed" me when I bought this as this is my 8th machine I own, however this is by far the oldest of the group.....LOL. It is really just a start to my collection.
