Then onto the next one, he does the same thing with an old treadle bottom. He paid $25 for the table. He'll sand blast it, paint it up and I'll get a granite top for a showpiece. I bought a bunch of quilting mags for 25 cents each and a couple of quilting books for a buck each. Now this makes #11 in the sewing machine dept. I'll need a house just for the machines soon.
I have three sewing bottoms which I use for bedside tables and end tables. I love antiques.

The decals on that machine are in great shape. From the picture they look pristine no wear at all. Was the machine even used?

My DH put a oak top on my Singer treadle base. I use it as an table beside his recliner. And as usual, my daughter had to have one too. So she got one for Christmas last year. Great find!

Great finds! I did the same thing with a treadle bottom, had it sandblasted and powder coated glossy black. Put a beautiful piece of granite on the top.
