What a great fine. My mom had the Singer Sewing and cabinet that you pictured, but we had a house fire when I was younger and it was lost along with everything else.

I just love the first machine and the cabinet, it is so beautiful. Do you planned to use the two sewing machines or are they just collector items?

Take Care,

What a gorgeous find. Enjoy the treadle. If I had room, I'd also get one. I learned on a treadle and think it would be fun to sew a quilt on one. I'd keep it in the living room on display!

You might want to for the Singer vintage machines site on Yahoo groups. They have very good info and just like this site they are willing to help.

I.ve never seen a treadle in an enclosed cabinet. It's beautiful. You can sew when the power is out!

Wow...that treadle & cabinet are really pretty. The green Singer reminds me of my green 15-125, but there are a few things that are different with the front of your machine, and so, I don't know if your's is a 15-125 or not. But, you really hit the jackpot.
