Thanks everyone for your input. tscweaves thanks for the specific finishes, too. Apparently the cabinet could have also served as a desk hence the ink well. I purchased a 15-91 with the flip top cabinet/stool/original bill of sale years ago at a second hand store that had taken in two sewing machine cabinets and they wanted to get rid of it- my lucky day! I have sewn some heavy duty projects on it and find the current cabinet requires that I sit straddled around one of the legs. I believe the design of the #42 would be more comfortable. Now to find one...Fingers crossed for a walnut but I will take any of them. Thanks again.
