W and G treadle base ( mostly)
I have passed on scores of Singer treadle bases. Even ones with cabinets,If they are made into tables,,,OK I can't save them all. But last weekend this showed up on FB marketplace. I am guessing it is a Wilcox and Gibbs from the 1860s. it is missing the treadle plate, the pittman arm and the drive wheel ( 1"wide flat belt).
Yeppers I brought it home. Could not let it me a plant stand.
