She certainly has aged gracefully. Doesn't look a day over 99. Congratulations.

Read all the pages after I posted this question. Thanks for showing us the inside too. Again, just beautiful!

Here's some pictures of the inside of mine:

Now that I finally got a belt for this machine I should actually PUT IT ON and get treadling :mrgreen: I've never treadled before but my 10 yr old was fooling with the wheel, when I wasn't looking, and the needle went into his fingernail, a little bit :shock:

Tell him that's how we all learn. In 50+ yrs. of sewing, I have sewn through my finger about 4 times. Not a bad average, but doesn't make it less scary or painful. Clean it very well and keep an eye on it for signs of infection. Unless it punctured the nail, probably no damage done but an important life experience. Sounds like something my grandson would do...he'll be to next month!

REALLY????? How awesome to hear that from you! I do love the cabinet. It's got 9 doors on it! I was amazed to find this video, in another area of this board, where the Treadle Lady demonstrates the cabinet:

Your value estimate will make my hubby feel a lot better about what I paid!

The veneer on the cabinet is rather dry and tho it's all there, it is coming unglued in places and I'm not sure what to do to help that. Any suggestions on reconditioning the wood without chipping off the veneer?
