Desperately Seeking Singer....Tailor Top
Hello, I am looking to purchase a 3 piece Singer tailor treadle machine wood top with metal hardware. If the drawer is available that would be great. I do not need the cast iron treadle base or the sewing machine. I already have a restored base and a 31-15 machine that will be restored. Small steps! The machine and base belonged to my grandfather. It was used to sew canvas material for wings on airplanes he built in North Dakota during the 1920's. This is mainly a sentimental project. In lieu of being able to locate an original top if anyone could help with the dimensions of the three pieces I would consider making a new top and then locating the hardware. I've seen a few on ebay but all have been on the east coast for pick up only. Thanks.

My interest is really piqued here. The top resembles the one I have for my Singer 27 treadle that was trashed when it was delivered to me (another woodworking project in process). What is the footprint of your treadle stand and your sewing machine? I can take some pics of the top I have with measurements and post them for you. If you are handy with wood you may be able to recreate the top you need.
