Looks like some form of industrial Singer, so the price might be pretty good.

it doesn't even look overpriced...

Another "Sowing" Machine way over priced and VERY Rare!!!

Looks like a fancy treadle operated fountain to me.

Should I email and ask if the fountain also runs on electric? :)

why - Oh why do people love to put wet stuff on top of these old cabinets!!

I know that people have to move with their work and personal lives, but my possessions, like my sewing machines, fabric, etc. are just like my dogs. I find a way to work with it and not have to be selling off or giving away. I just do not understand how "moving" can make someone give up their personal possessions like this. It must not have met anything to them when they got it.?

I suspect that a lot of people just have them for decoration, and others may have inherited them, but have no use for them. I'd rather see them get passed on to someone who would use it, than just sit around and collect dust, or worse.

Unfortunately for that seller, he is going to be taking that one with him.

I believe that to most folks these are just decorations, like an old fake Christmas tree, sentimental but not actually valued.

Same reason most folks sell them with pics of the cabinet and irons only, because to them that IS all there really is to it.

sad.. But good for us when they are not delusional about it's value...
