Except to us with the addiction, which I got this last year. Oh well, could be booze or smokes (like DH).

Great find! I love that cabinet. With a little TLC it'll be a beautiful piece of furniture.

What a beauty! Thanks for the photo's, and the memories... it took me back to my childhood, pumping that treadle while grandma was showing me how to sew. Guess she did ok, as I'm still at it today.

Why are these finds always thousands of miles away from where I am?

That's a beautiful machine and cabinet, and a super bargain! What needles does it take?
