Good for you!!! A nice parlor cabinet is on my wish list. I think I'd like to put my 115 Tiffany into a parlor cabinet. She deserves something pretty.

I just posted pictures showing what the missing top support looks like. Great that yours still has the bottom bracket for it. This cabinet really needs the extra support for the table when it is open.

I was kind of wondering if the escutcheon on mine was original, but yours is exactly the same.

Did you get a key that fits? I've had a really hard time finding one so if you have one I'd love to get pictures with dimensions - it's a longer key than what you typically can find. And now days with the Steampunk craze, it's getting hard to find vintage keys - they are being made into jewelry.

Two treadles after you promised no more. Shirley, you have more guts than me, so well done: I bought a teeny tiny little featherweight and will still be hiding it from SWMBO.
Lovely early 66, hope it comes with attachments. Cabinet looks fantastic. :)

And how many tools/toys does he have? Does he still buy things he wants?? You go girl, and I just got a red eye last month and the cabinet is almost the same, just a little scroll work on front, the only difference. Mine was born in 1911, how old is yours?? Can't wait to see pictures of the other one either.

I just tell my DH, "Thank You, I love it! Aren't you happy that you made me happy! I just love it sooo much! Give him a couple really good kisses and then set that baby up.
