If my husband wouldn't kill me (and if I had the money and space) after buying the featherweight and the 99, I would love to have this! The case is really cool and it would be neat to have a treadle!

Pretty cabinet and machine! The decals on the machine is Tiffany or Gingerbread.
The machine is a Singer 15-30, beautiful machine & OMG the parlor cabinet is to die for!
I have that same cabinet but mine is really dark and I don't like it but I do like the one in the ad. I wonder if it's possible to lighten a darkened cabinet by removing the shellac/varnish.
Numerous cabinets seem to have the dark varnish/shellac on them. I too wonder if removing the shellac/varnish would make a big difference. I sanded one of my cabinets down and just used tung oil on it to finish it, but it is still dark looking.
This cabinet is gorgeous!
Furniture Doctor by George Grotz I think has info how to fix up the shellac - if not it is a pretty good read

The "sad" one that follows will clean up and sew like a dream. You'll be surprised.
Here is a picture of the attatchments. Does anyone know what the attatchments are for or what they do? The second picture is of a wooden box a friend gave me a long time ago, I collect boxes. I knew they were attatchments for a sewing machine, but I never knew that it went to a vintage Singer sewing machine. I think it is called a Singer puzzle box. How do I find out if they will work on my Singer 9w? I forgot to mention that I paid $30 for the machine and cabinet, it needs a belt.

Keep in mind with these old cabinets that if there's no reason to refinish, then removing patina removes value... that being said, it's yours, do what you want with it! ;) :)

I have had this machine tucked away for thirty-five years and got interested in getting it to work from this thread.
I certainly appreciate knowing more about it. Thanks for what information you have given me already.

Numbers 1-4 (and maybe 5, I can't see the clamp fixture well enough) are all for your Singer 9W.
1. is part of an adjustable hemmer, I think the other part of it is laying in front of #5.
2. is a gathering foot....it makes a small or puckered gather at the seam line.
3&4 are too difficult for me to see to be able to tell you for sure what they are.
5. If this has the same kind of "shank" on it as 1-4, then it's also for your 9W, and is a pintucker.
6. I hope these are Boye 18 needles, they'd be for the 9W if they are, and are getting to be scarce as hen's teeth!
7. These feet look like top clamps to me, and would be for a White, National, Davis, New Home, Standard, Domestic, Kenmore, or Free Westinghouse. There are 12 different widths of slots in 1909, according to the Sewing Machine Attachment Handbook that was recommended by someone else...a great little book to have!! :)
8&9 are rufflers, and I can't tell from the photo what they fit. The piece just to the left of 8 & 9 looks like it may be the missing piece of #1, the adjustable hemmer.
10. Is a quilting bar. It attaches to a quilting foot so that you can stitch lines an even distance apart.
Hope this helps!

Hello Miz Johnny
That is my shuttle!!!! Thank you ever so much!! That is just what I was looking for. I am sooooo happy. Now to get home and see if I can get the machine to sew. Everything runs as smmothly as can be. I think all I have to get right is the tensions and I am going to print out that manual.
Thank you! Thank you! Thank you all!!! Shelia
