Saturday's haul -
 

Got the van unloaded this AM.

The 319

And the cabinet it came in. The white mark appears to be clouded finish, you can't tell there is any mark by touch. This should refinish very nicely. The drawers have all the regular attachments and manual, but no hidden surprises :)

And the chair - the bottom is broken out, but I can fix it. This is the original chair that came with the cabinet and machine.

This is the first cabinet I've gotten with the knee control lever on the left side. The control is mounted on the back of the base that folds down with the machine. I love this cabinet! (ok, I love just about all the cabinets).

And the one I really wanted - the Singer 24 - here is the treadle. It's such a cute little thing!

Was easier to take the machine off the base instead of taking the base out of the cabinet.

The seller showed me all the neat attachments that came with it - And I agree, they are really neat!

There's only one problem . . .

But I have a machine they fit too - and a few sets that do fit the 24.

Here is one sign of SMAD - four different chainstitch machines . . .

Then new one is from 1905, the older hand crank one is from 1899.

While the decals are the same, there are quite a few differences.

Old

New

The new one has a side clamp foot, and a more "normal" foot lift lever. The older one has a back clamp foot, and the lever to lift the foot is at the top of the head. I love the spool holder on the new one. The older hand crank one had the spool holder mounted to the base, not the machine. They are both so neat!

So much for cutting down, I gave Joe 4 treadle cabinets and since then I've added 7 cabinets to my shed. I don't recall if I shared pictures of this one . . .

helps to motivate me to get painting so my shed can get done and I can get the nicer cabinets moved to better storage.

Wowza!!! A little bit of sewing machine heaven!

Whoa! That is an interesting haul!!

obviously the 319 should come live with its little sister with me..... I have a matching black 306w.

love the Martha Washington cabinet!

Cabinet in storage shed with tarp and box on top of it is very interesting. Love the look. You sure know how to find them!

Cathy, the Martha Washington cabinet is really cool! The parlor cabinet is beautiful, tarp and all! If I had the space and the $$$$$$$$$, I would probably end up collecting them, but at almost 70, I don't think I'm able physically to do that! I love to admire them, though! LOL!

I have one of those Singer 24's in a treadle base. Someone painted the treadle base white and we just couldn't get it to strip so we just repainted it. Very cute little machine.

I have the cousin 306W in the same cabinet except blond finish. I love mine. You made a great haul.
