    Ahhhhh.. lovely. I feel better now. So exciting to see your haul! I can't wait to see the rest. The 61W is interesting.

    That Singer industrial is a rather interesting machine L61W5

    Anyone notice some rather interesting details about it?

    It's got a Wheeler Wilson emblem in the middle of the bed, and WW throat/needle plates.

    I missed the emblem but I'm wondering at the shape of the bed itself. It looks like either it ramps up to the needle plate or the bed is dished out next to it.
    Very nice haul. I have two favorites. The parlor cabinet treadle and the twig emblem New Home treadle.
    I can't wait to see the rest. I wish I was closer so I could see it all in person. You're well on your way to having a very significant collection.

    I forgot to ask. What is that very fancy looking piece of white painted cast iron?

    That is something that's been in the shed for some time - it's the legs of a neat vintage bench that I got from my brother several years ago. I have the wood from it too. that will be a neat thing to have in with the machines, a vintage bench to sit on while admiring the vintage machines.

    WOW, what a haul and there's more!!! We just might have to make a road trip to SD to see your museum but if not maybe you could take some pictures and post on the board when the museum is complete. I know everyone would love to see it.

    *** Nice haul.
    *** Don't lock the kitties in the cabinets.
    *** Mine like dark spaces to sleep.
