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.

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

Nice machine. Looks in good condition.

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.
