    Default looking for an unusual treadle drawer

    I have these pictures of a very abused version of what I am looking for.

    The key differences are:
    1: There is a face plate on both ends
    2: There is a groove on both sides just down from the top edge that goes the entire length.

    This is a unique drawer type made for the Singer 13 "Medium" treadle.

    Any help would be appreciated.

    If you should decide to fabricate one, I think I've got face plates like that from a "parts" parlor cabinet.

    Really... Hmmmm. Ok then. I have the box joint cutter... Possible, just possible. Thanks for the idea!

    I checked Craigslist in my area and don't see one currently. I am happy to check periodically.

    Steve, thanks for posting that! I always thought that the drawers to my medium were damaged and they put the two drawer fronts together on one drawer. Glad to know that that is the way it was made. So very interesting! Mine only has one drawer, but places for two.

    I will certainly keep an eye out for one for you. I think it shouldn't be too hard to spot if one comes up. They are quite a bit longer than standard ones.

    Here is my machine with the drawer in place.
