I honestly thought I could resist another treadle...afterall it has some thing major with the cabinet that will need to be dealt with one day...
So here it is in all it's glory! I think I will have to name her Bonnie as that is one of the auctioneers that encouraged me to keep bidding LOL

I think you might be able to tell what the cabinet problem is...why did someone "antique" this vintage and now antique, or close to being antique, cabinet green? I am a lover of green but not over a lovely oak cabinet.

They used to paint everything. My parents had a lot of nice wood furniture that had the most unappealing paint applied to them.

I remember the green "antiquing"paint they used in the 1970s. UGH!!! The White rotary is one of my favorite treadles.

Just brought home my 3rd Singer 301A. However, this one is a beautiful black machine. The case came with it; no icky smells; only a little wear and tear show on it. A bonus of some great attachments. The machine is clean and runs really well. Am I blessed or what?

wilburness

you are blessed. nice machine. best part is no smell in the case. enjoy

Your 301 is very pretty and the case is just like mine minus the mysterious red stain that I have on my case

This is a Willcox & Gibbs Gatherer attachment. This fits on the end of hte standard foot to make it a gatherer. My 1870's W&G has it's original manual and a complete attachment set MINUS this (until now)

Steve, Can you show a picture of it attached to the foot? Without trying to make a joke, is it like a boot for the foot, where this goes on the front leading edge?
~G~

SteveH

yes it is, I will do that tonight.

Here is the illustrated view though.
