"New" Sewing Stool
#21
We paid $150 for ours, and another $40 for the stool off ebay (because I had to have a matching stool, you know . . .).
It came with a beautiful 15-91 and attachments. The sellers had bought it around 15 years ago because they liked the desk - and never did a thing with the sewing machine inside.
We were willing to pay that much as it was only an hour away, and the truck is a hungry guy to feed if we have to drive 2-3 hours away to get one. It's different when we can fit something in the car.
I have paid all accross the board for cabinets and machines - I figure it evens out in the long run, so I don't mind if I have to pay through the nose once in a while, as I've been given a few and got some others dirt cheap.
what is funny - some of the machines that would sell for the most on Ebay are the ones I got free or near free.

When you open the drawer and feel underneath, you'll feel a cutout of the shelf the drawer sits on.
There is a little spring lever along side the slide, and you need to depress is so the back of the drawer will slide over it.
If your fingers are thin enough, you can use them, otherwise a screwdriver or something like that would work.
It's easier if you do with with the cabinet on it's back - or upside down, especially for the bottom drawer.

I don't know when it was made, but it goes with the number 42 cabinet.

Singer also has another similar stool, but I want this one with the rounded corners. The machine that was in the matching cabinet is from 1946.

I have one like it that came with a #46 cabinet. It is the art noveau style with the inkwell. It has some water damage to the very bottom. I have it on my list of things to do. It is easily refinished. Mine had vintage 1940 fabric on the seat. Yours must be original. Very good.
