Nice machine...how about your name "wild Irish Rose".

Lucky you! Just a good cleaning and oiling ans she should be good as new.
I have the same cabinet. Yours looks darker, but still the same. My mom bought it new around 1961 or 1962. I have her old planter and a new runner on it. Wish I had the stool that goes with it.
Enjoy your finds.
