You have the Holy Grail of cabinets........the Drawing Room Cabinet (hence the DR in the model number). I have thrown the bank to a few of these and come out empty handed. The cabinet alone is worth around $600 then you toss in a rare Lotus 66 and it makes it worth that mush more. That was an awesome score!!!

Anyone else own a 66? I'd love to hear tips, quirks, etc. This is my first one. Squeeee....

It's a treadle, my first treadle, too.
I love when the 1908 year comes up - that 's the year my grandfather graduated from Penn State. He used to say "aught eight"! Love the machine!

Billy,
I've been reading the posts too. I had no idea a Lotus Singer treadle was rare. As I said in an earlier post, I have one too- not that fancy cabinet though. I am so glad I follow you guys on the board- have learned so much!

I've never seen a cabinet like that! Yours is a beauty. I have three treadles and love them all!
