That is a great find!
|
wow,,, soooooo jealous i would love something like that!
|
I did a little research and it was sold by Sears in the early to mid 70's. It is a solid well-made piece of furniture. The table folds up, the doors close and it looks like a regular cabinet. It came with a Singer Futura II that worked for awhile but then gave up and quit working. I enquired about repairing it but they wanted too much money. My favorite part was all the trims, scissors, elastic, Velcro, button, gadgets, etc. The original owner's name was in a box, "Nora". By the looks of a little note I found in there, and some other things, she probably passed away about ten years ago and her family donated it recently. I love sewing at it because everything is so handy and I can close it all up easily when I need to. I was so happy to find it and I suspect Nora would be happy to know it's in the hands of a very appreciative quilter.

Marvellous find.

What a wonderful find. Happy for you!!

This is a cool looking setup. I sold custom cabinets a few years back and you couldn't buy the door for $25. That would easily fetch a $1000 or more to have it made. Great score!!!

What a beauty! Well done

Am green with envy, i've been watching a few on Ebay but they've sold for about $500,
Enjoy your lucky find, |
So the table pulls out of the cabinet? That is so cool. I would like that. :thumbup:

My stepfather bought my mom that exact piece back in the 80's and back then it was over $1000.00. So, did you grab it up and "run like a bandit?" I think I would have!!! I'm very proud for you and your new treasure!
