Word from a previous owner.....or a grandchild.
[ATTACH=CONFIG]575896[/ATTACH]So how did this young miss get to the inside of the drawer frame? Was she resting on the treadle itself? Anyway her name is still visible on a cabinet that held a 1912 127. I am not going to clean this off. Part of the history.

Aww, that's sweet. I'd leave it there too. When my youngest was 4 I went to write a check and when I opened my checkbook I found that she had written a check with her name on it. She said it was so she could pay for something when we went shopping.

I have my great-grandmother's 15-88 treadle. One of my cousins "wrote" his name on the cabinet with a pin or needle when he was younger, and it is part of the history of my machine that I will never take way from it! There was some crayon "artwork" on the cabinet also, but I did scrub that off with a lot of elbow grease and cloth, but I wanted to use this machine, and that crayon had to go....
