My imagination can write the story behind the photo.

You should see my daughters bedroom suit, it is a Paul Bunyan set and the mattress sits over 36" off of the floor and you have two sets of steps to get into the bed with. The head and foot boards weigh over 150 lbs each! Heck the post of them are 10" in diameter and the finials are at least 14" in diameter. The damn thing is King size and HUGE!!
Of Course she wants Daddy to make her a quilt for it........ :roll: :lol:

My Singer coffin top treadle came to me missing the machine
mounting pins(obtained already) and the oil drip pan.
My son,Steve, fabricated a new one for me. The pictures are the last 6 in the coffin top treadle cabinet album.

Did you turn a modern machine into a treadle?

Okay here is the latest acquisition to my collection (I think :roll: ) an 1876- 1880's FC Henderson sewing machine. It has the automatic tensioner that was patented by Wilcox and Gibbs and was made available to other manufacturers in that era. This is the first time I have ever seen this name of machine but it is just like the Wanamaker, Eldridge, W&G, and a few others that sold this type of machine. The decals on this machine are complete and in perfect condition and after a test cleaning this machine will be museum quality!
Since the machine is in a homemade case I am going to put it on my 1870's W&W treadle I just restored and will make the cabinet along with the coffin top for the machine. One of these days I hope to find the right treadle and cabinet for the machine if I do not turn around and sell it first.
