    Most W&W machines (of any model) that I see have the decals worn off. That one is nice.

    Now, to go with the Chinese Singer 25 named "Singer 15 made in USA", we have the "vintage Asian treadle sewing cabinet" actually made in the USA.

    A White twiggy cabinet. They may not be that far off though I don't think they're aware of that. It's an Arts & Crafts style cabinet. Some of the furniture makers of the time were heavily influenced by Asian designs. Greene & Greene is the most famous example I can think of. Natural motifs like the twigs were popular too as well as medieval designs.

    A good deal on a Singer 15-91:

    $40 including the fancy zigzagger and the Queen Anne style cabinet.

    Here is a pretty coffin top at what I think is a fantastic price of $100 (just for comparison)

    This machine is going to be on it's way to my house very soon!! Not being shipped. It is being "Pony Expressed" through the TOGA group and a member here!

    The company that made this Franklin only made them from 1867 to 1870. They only made a couple thousand total...
