    Absolutely stunning. The craftsmanship involved in constructing one of these must have been incredibly time consuming, translating to very expensive! But, WOW....... Thank you, Steve, for sharing these photos.

    O. M. G...that ivy base is gorgeous!

    It seems the one thing they did have right is that the treadle is offset to the left. Puts you right in front of the needle, where you should be.

    This machine looks like its in beautiful shape. Do you know if it still operates? I love the detail on the iron sides. Just beautiful machine!
