    I checked the serial numbers = they are all from 1950.

    They actually are. Just north of me in Oakland, they broke in to a two story church and stole the brass handrails....

    Weren't the remakes all from Alphasew? If that's the case, they wouldn't have Singer numbers anyway... I didn't know there were remakes of the featherweights, I knew about the 15s and 127s, etc...

    "This old Singer treadle sewing machine has been painted in a soft white chalk paint and is ready for your Shabby Chic home! The light distressing brings out the natural aging of this beautiful piece of furniture. It comes with an electric Singer sewing machine inside (which I have NO idea if it works or not...I can remove it if you'd rather not have it included :O)
    This table can be used in many different ways...entryway, craft room, bedroom as a nightstand, living room...I'm sure wherever it's used it will be a perfect addition to any room!
    Asking $235. Pick up only.

    31" high
    34-1/2" wide
    16-1/2" deep

    Thank you!
    Perfectly Shabby
    Have a look at our other ads :O)
